How many? Were they wearing all black clothing?
I personally saw a group of cops standing in a street corner in full riot gear allowing the mob to destroy at will
That is consistent with what I saw in the documentary film.
What does that have to do with it? You used Seattle as an example of a peaceful protest. Are you now insinuating that those in "black clothing" were not protestors, but secret government agents? Right.....
This particular "peaceful" rock throwing "protestor" was alone.
The vandals, however, moved around in large groups. The police defended themselves and no more until far to late thanks to political correctness run amok in the far leftwing Seattle mayoral office.
The "peaceful protestors" decided to attack the WTO itself and when that failed they tried to destroy as much of the city as possible. Smash world capitalism in the form of your local McDs.
People should have been facing felony assault charges. Instead the mayor came under assault for the little (and too late) that he allowed the police to do.
