Did They Forget To Say “Simon Says?”
A little nugget from yesterday’s “The World Can’t Wait” protest in San Francisco, in the San Francisco Chronicle:
As they lay in the street, about 25 police officers in riot gear holding batons told the protesters that “anyone who didn’t want to be arrested should get up and move to the sidewalk,” said (Mona) Villa (a monitor for the march).
About a third did, Villa said. Without warning, she said, the police circled the remaining protesters, charged in and grabbed them, forcing them to fall on one another.
What part of “anyone who doesn’t move will be arrested” didn’t count as a warning?
