and no police brutality involved? Did her eye strike the officer squarely on his fist? :eyes: I'll await details before passing judgment.

17. i think thats a good way to go in all things |
|
lets wait to hear the real details before getting too ramped up but man
when i saw "black eye" ..... well there must be a good explanation because wcgreen would not have reported no police brutality if it werent so

37. Sorry about whatever the health issue was |

You missed a great march. I'm so glad I was there. I think we made history this weekend. Too bad it was overshadowed by the hurricanes.

:hi:
It's so cool to be able to visualize people now. I just wish I remembered everyone I met, but unless I talked to someone for a while, it's hard to keep everyone straight.
I know meganmonkey was fully expecting to get arrested. I hope she and Joan are okay.

31. MM's dad is an attorney |
|
and another DUer (darn, I forgot her name) who was going to also be part of the protest is an attorney. They didn't seem too worried. I think MM's father knew she was going to do this.

She was planning on it.
I can't believe Joan got bloodied. I hope she's okay.

29. Am sure no police brutality involved -- our DC police are quite good |
|
about peaceful protests & arrests for civil disobedience. In fact, when IMF/World Bank protestors come into town, they arrange in ADVANCE with police about what they intend to do, how many plan to be arrested, etc. so DC police know how many prs handcuffs to bring, where to take them for processing. All very organized!!
