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.

From your link…

Menino defended the police action, saying protesters crossed a line Monday afternoon when they sought to tie up traffic on the North Washington Street Bridge and then expanded their campground to a newly renovated section of the Greenway that authorities had specifically asked the activists to avoid.

“I understand they have freedom of speech and freedom of expression, but we have a city to manage,’’ he said.

One of the main goals of these protests is to create civil unrest. If they succeed it may spread. It still baffles me why liberals still continue to support a movement that’s only going to hurt Obama’s chances for reelection. It just seems stupid but they are drawn to this stuff.
