Although the local mainstream press reported the harsh treatment that protesters endured from the last day in August until the end of the Republican convention, very little of that reporting made its way outside of New York or continued beyond the time it took for the physical and psychological scars of those events to heal. The issues are obscured by the fact that some of the individuals arrested that day were performing acts of civil disobedience for the expressed purpose of being arrested. What is not widely recognized is that many others were curious bystanders or local residents coincidentally on the street while these acts were being performed. This film is a first-hand account from an independent documentary producer who spent five days in New York, two of them behind bars. Before you decide who was right and who was wrong, you should first see this story.

while i completely agree that the police should not have arrested anyone that was not breaking the law, i was a bit disappointed at the scarcity of factual evidence on either side of the argument. fuck the fascist police, but try to make a solid case next time please, for everyone's sake.
