COPENHAGEN — Police are using tear gas and batons to disperse crowds of protesters trying to disrupt the U.N. climate talks in Copenhagen.
Police spokesman Per Larsen says 230 protesters have been detained in the clashes outside the suburban conference center.
Television pictures showed a man being pushed from the roof of a police van and stuck with a baton by an officer.
Protesters said they wanted to take over the global conference — and turn it into a "people's assembly."

I think it's time we recognized what a standout Denmark is. First they joined the coalition of the willing and actually sent troops to Iraq when only 3 other countries besides the U.S. would, then they had the guts to publish those Mohammad cartoons would no one else would, then their former PM and NATO Sec. Gen. helps cobble together 7k troops for Afghanistan when no one wanted to contribute - and many didn't.
