Miami PD did a fine job. There was a minimum of violence. Miami media did their usual crappy job, fawning over the anarchists, while, of course, never calling them that.

Ever notice that the police ALWAYS seem to "overreact" whenever the anti-globalization gather? Couldn't it have something to do with the tactics of the protestors?

(that's a "duh" question, incidentally)

The Miami police showed considerably more restraint than I could have. I hope these clowns never show up in my city.

I firmly believe these radicals are paid to discredit the growing number of everyday people who seek to put a stop to the jobs leaving this country. It works every time. No one notices the earnest voices...many on the RIGHT who do not support this capital worldwide redistribution of our wealth.

Most of these losers are paid. Every Sunday in our paper is an add that states: "Get paid $500/wk to be an activist. It's the only gig these parasites can get.

These people are ludicrous and so predictable. I saw it on the news and if that was over reaction then Clinton was honest Abe.

"We were just standing there, totally peacefully," she said. "I was honestly looking this guy in the eye with a peace sign, and then all of a sudden, boom. There was no provocation."

Like, at least they didn't run over her with, like, a bulldozer, y'know?

The American Civil Liberties Union was also investigating. You'll get to the bottom of it! While they're in town maybe they can get Al Gore elected president.

I was watching a little on C-span. I didn't see any of the protesters causing any trouble. This is Jeb Bush's "pre-emptive" policy. I agree with the jobs issue. Our leaders are giving this country away to the third world and we are supposed to sit there and take it.

[CWOJackson]

There were different elements to the demonstrators. It's apparent you only saw the protestors who were only there for the check. There were plenty who were there to cause trouble intentionally...that's the only way they can get the TV coverage and whine about police abuse.

There was no abuse here...just the police preventing some hoodlums from having their way.

Protesters Say Seatt....er, DC...er, Miami Police Overreacted

LOL! That Chicago cop's holding a cigar in his teeth as he dubdues a smelly one!

THERE'S a guy who loves his job!!

[Dog]

That was a good one ....thanks for the laugh.

Reminds me of my favorite saying: "The greatest tragedy at Kent State was poor marksmanship."
Think about it.

Dumb hippie.

Don't be redundant.....;^)

[RonDog]

...Most of the injured protesters were treated by medics affiliated with protest organizers...

So, they brought THEIR OWN medics?!?

Seems like they were PLANNING to have violence, eh?

[sauropod]

ty for the info. Believe that Horowitz also exposed them in Radical Son.

[concerned about politics]

These unemployed commie protestors need to get a real job. It'll keep them busy and out of Americas face (and pocketbook).

Down with liberalism.
