Local area protesters got rounded up on the fourth of July while protesting police brutality. There has to be some sort of irony in this... They marched and gathered near the clock tower. But I actually believe it was the other parkgoers that provoked the whole confrontation calling them commies and such. The news called them "Anarchists" I think they are more likely just social activists. they don't want war and violence. Most are actually anti-gun vegitarians and put forth ideas like "food not bombs" etc. Funny how we think they are the "hooligans".

There do seem to be a lot of "accidental deaths" recently at the hands of police. That is not to say that these gentlemen are gone wild but perhaps some are over the edge. that said accidents do happen. I don't believe "TASERS ARE BAD" just that their use is only needed in extreme cases.

Gary Bartley was my first husband, the father of my children. You would not believe the devastation his death has caused. He did not deserve to die like this. They used that taser on him while he was standing in a bathtub full of water. Such a tragedy...
