You mean someone rushed the cops and got the shit kicked out of him? That's crazy! Why, that would never happen anywhere else. The cops should have put down pillows for him to land on, as I am sure he was expecting.

From boingboing: My excuse for not having a photo is because just as I hit the shutter I swallowed in a gulp of pepper spray that misted through the air forcing me to recoil and lose the shot. But I'll happily go in a court of law to say I saw a guy with no weapons run at a bunch of police, immediately get shot with rubber bullets, and then receive what looked very much like a pistol whipping. The sound of clattering metal billyclubs on the pavement, indicating missed shots, is something I don't think I'll ever forget either. Later after the incident I spoke to another witness who confirmed my assessment, though he's more graphic. He was in the crowd: "Yeah I saw it right there. The guy, he just, is tackled. And the cop he turned his gun around and BAM BAM BAM, he just bashes this guy's head like five times with the butt of his gun. And then the horses show up and the cops on those, they get their shot with those metal canes. http://www.boingboing.net/2008/08/26/ethan-persoffs-cover.html Props to Fauxbama for calling for an end to the violence. Oh. Wait. Well, good thing he voted for illegal wiretapping. Otherwise I don't think AT&T would have thrown them that swanky party. http://www.boingboing.net/2008/08/26/video-of-attendees-a.html Yep. At least he's black so we can feel good about *that*. ::rolls eyes::

What's the deal with the brooch pic? Did it not match her earrings or something?
