The news cycle

Have you been seeing anything in the mainstream media about the pre-emptive arrest of peaceful protest groups?

I've been seeing it all over the parts of the web where I hang out, and then I heard a sketchy little mention on WHYY (my local NPR station) which made it sound as though the police had done something routine and reasonable.

MSM has reports of windows being broken by folks who'd been in the protest group. There's blog reports of attacks on buses (such as dropping a bag of concrete from an overpass). Best criticism I've seen of the cops is by joelrosenberg.
