Suprised? Not Me.
An article in today's NY Times reveals that more than 90% of those arrested during anti-Republican demonstrations at last year's Republican National Convention have either been acquitted in court or had the charges dropped. Some of these were a result of videotape evidence that directly contradicted the testimony of the arresting officer, who wasn't necessarily the same officer shown arresting the suspect on the tape!
Why am I not surprised that the NYPD would be overly aggressive in wrangling protesters? Especially considering it was the Republican convention and Mayor Bloomberg happens to be a Republican and was eager to host the convention?
