I just heard about it. These are the types of stories that aren't reported on the mainstream media. I'm behind.

I doubt very greatly anything's been resolved the way it should be resolved.... charges brought on police officers.... charges dropped for amy goodman and the other journalists who got arrested and beat up.

If I can find any further information about the current status, I'll post it.

I can't believe this.... "pre-emptive arrests" they're calling them.

In other words, the police can round up and arrest anybody they like just for being on the street.

It's scary.
