<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/user/blogswarm">Bob Brigham</a> sent SFist the above footage from today's <a href="http://sfist.com/2008/03/19/breaking_news_h.php">small protest on Market Street,</a> which prefaces tonight's massive <a href="http://sfist.com/2008/03/19/your_day_in_pro.php">anti-war rally</a> at Civic Center. </p>

<p>The photographer getting manhandled at around 20-25 seconds in is Luke Thomas of <a href="http://www.FogCityJournal.com">Fog City Journal</a>. (Or so we're told.) Then, at the end, the camera operator receives a serious (and seriously questionable) smackdown by an officer. </p>

<p>Ouch. </p>

<p>Be careful <a href="http://sfist.com/2008/03/18/tomorrows_war_p.php">out there tonight</a>, folks.</p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
