Some of the press who were there, could not tell what happened and we ran my video in the park with them, to try and see, I was about seven feet from her at the moment the police rushed the mic ( do check out the photographs on my blog, the link is in the first post on this thread... ) Even that close it is hard to see what is going on, in the first minute, I raised my camera on the tripod and you can see the cops taking away the sound system, but not arresting Zulkowitz, or where Cindy Sheehan is. Rather, the moment the police arrive, you see, in the screan grab on my blog, the arm of a supporter pulling Sheehan to the right as the police come forward from the left. Almost emidiatly there was a massive crush, as there were lots of people there already, suddunly there are a large number of cops pressing into the crowd. Frankly, there was no attempt to ASK for the PA system. Had they done that, there would have been NO injuries, and possibly no arrests! This was not a dangerous violent bunch.
Well, there you are, I am happy Cindy was not lifted.
Cheers
