meh, on the one had the police may have been a bit heavy handed, on the other the protesters could of had it coming to them. I really can't make a judgment from this one source alone, but if I was force to I would probably side with the officers.

She said an officer fired the first spray when several of the protesters charged toward the police line, which had been set up to protect the roadway and prevent any movement toward the pedestrian mall.

The protestors indeed had it coming.

The Denver protestors should have been allowed to barge into the Convention proceedings and break up the "capitalist fundraising orgy" (quote is from the protestors group).

More generally speaking, all regular police forces everywhere should be disbanded and all citizens should have the option to heavily arm themselves.

Having lived in Denver, I can only say that Denver cops ARE facists. Read about their "Denver Cares" program. If you are drunk and decide to walk home instead of drive, they will pick you up for being drunk and put you in a holding tank for 72 HOURS without a phone call, to "get the alcohol out of your system". Never mind that you lose your job, or your family doesn't know where you are - too bad!

St. Paul cops are wimps.
