Hi Charlie:
"Police officials have denied demonstrator accusations that they have mistreated protesters at a Manhattan holding facility, saying that most people arrested leave there in 90 minutes and no one is held longer than eight hours."
I know that this is a complete lie. My friend John was swept up, from the sidewalk, watching a demo, he was held in the grease and dirt of the pier from Tuesday through Thursday, in conditions which he finaly traded for a hospital bed, as he has a medical condition which was affected by the conditions which were horendous. Damn long eight hours if you ask me.
Cheers
Larry
