Well I wasn't chaotic in the least. I was standing there with a home made sign that was so clever that I forgot what it was. I did not deserve burns on my eyes, face and skin. I did not deserve to be hit in the leg by some idiot cop who figured that all hippies were alike. I went there to be involved in a legal protest for something I felt strongly about. I don't condone the actions of the protesters who became violent, as in my mind violent protest is a serious contradiction in terms, but the police were equally violent and out of control. It was a case of escelation, and MANY people were injured seriously because of a few idiots.
