Back after the last demonstration (a week ago Friday) police confronted Mike & told him the next time a demonstration took to the street, he & other organizers would be arrested -- hether they were responsible or not. Mike was not arrested on Saturday, but he was saved only by the size of the demonstration. The pigs are under orders to quash this movement. Rumor has it that the pigs are working with the FBI to stiffle protest atreound the country. They acted nice on Saturday because they simply were not prepared for such a good turnout. New Orleans cops can be nice at crowd control, but when the feds pressure local government to quash protests, the pigs obey.

When you get pics, you can post them on http://www.indymedia.org/index.php3?newswire=open along with your own impressions of the march.
