Stories from the protests in NYC

Here’s coverage you won’t find in major newspapers, but that is important nonetheless. It’s a story in Salon.com (sorry for the ads you have to watch to read it for free) about the roughness of the police in NYC amidst the multiple demonstrations against the Republican convention. Hurray for the courageous people exercising their right to peaceful political dissent, and shame on those authorities (not all of them, but some) who shut down the process in very rough ways.
