Police Repression at 110 volts.
NYC Indymedia reports of a Colorful Call to Shut Down Guantanamo Silenced by Police and claims:
Officers built sawhorse corrals around the protesters even as they spoke, and forbid speakers to use their sound system, making it difficult for those in the crowd to hear the poetic and informative speeches given by the speakers.One of the comments responds:
the organizers didn't bring the proper kind of sound equipment... they had no generator or batteries to use it & wanted to plug it in (where???). That wasn't the fault of the police. We should hold ourselves up to the same accurate reportage standards as we expect from others.I wouldn't hold your breath...
