re: #3 KingKenrod

There’s a much better write-up of the incident in the Boston Globe.

[Link: www.boston.com…]

I don’t see anything the police did wrong, except telling the media to leave or not film, if that actually happened.

The police weren’t acting in good faith. They didn’t want to enforce the law, they wanted to arrest the protesters and crush the protest. For those of you who don’t know Boston, public transit shuts down between 12:00 and 1:00 am. No buses, no trains, and there is very little parking near the Rose Kennedy Greenway. The police marched into the encampment at 1:20 am, and gave the protestors two minutes to leave before the arrests started. Do you think it’s possible to wake up, strike your tent and get out in two minutes? Somebody wanted arrests.
