Aug. 30 (Bloomberg) -- New York police arrested at least four people in brief clashes late today with demonstrators who marched outside the Republican National Convention to present a mock arrest warrant accusing President George W. Bush of ``crimes against humanity.''

At least one protester was taken into custody as a march of several thousand people organized by the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign approached Madison Square Garden, Deputy Police Commissioner Paul Browne said. Demonstrators knocked a police officer off a motor scooter and ``kicked and pummeled'' him, Browne said. The officer, not immediately identified, was taken to St. Vincent's Hospital with unspecified injuries.

'kicked and pummeled'. I don't think temporary insanity will get this one off.

Chris Dunn of the New York Civil Liberties Union said police have been too aggressive with the vehicles, saying, ``Scooters as a crowd control tactic is a dangerous thing,'' he said.

HELLO .. The Officer was kicked off it

These people are overgrown, spoiled little brats. Too bad someone didn't hammer their behinds when they were five and running around screaming that they hated their parents and acting like maniacs!
