-Caveat Lector- ________________________________________________ A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C E http://www.ainfos.ca/ ________________________________________________ I have been watching the news on several channels about the WTO protests and I hear everyone talking about all the violence but it sure looks like its the cops doing it not the protesters. On all the news networks and cable news too I saw the same Starbucks get broken into and some graffiti along with an industrial dumpster on fire. I did hear news readers talk of damage done to a Gaps and a Nike store but they should have been prepared since they are both long standing targets. The Gap due to their owners connection to the deforrestation of the headwaters in Ca. and Nike for its human rights abuses. I did not see any protesters beating up cops or firing tear gas or rubber bullets at them. No as usual it was the cops doing the violence to an otherwise peaceful but determined group of civilians. >> From: xxxxxxxxxxxxx >> Subject: (en) undercover police assault youth! -- report from seattle >via indy media below is a text intro for a realaudio report. go to: http://216.173.206.96/imc to hear the full report.
