(5,420 posts)is what a veteran for peace told me on the train home. I saw none of it as I had already walked away. I did see a overkill in the numbers of the police. A big overkill.
We had gone on and were forced up an alley by the police. We saw many many police running to that final stop of the march. I was angry at them for the over the top reaction. Later I heard that a blac blocker had thrown a brick nd hit a cop in the head. I was angry about that too.
it was going home that I stuck up the conversation with the vet. He was clearly upset when he told me that it was indeed the black bloc that had stormed the police horses. I had not even seen any police on horseback.
He fffelt that we had to stop the black bloc before they got someone killed. If his story is true. He is correct. "they want to bring war t sorry am on cell phone and it wont let me go ddown to lower part of page to correct aything.
am only relaying info. I did not see any of this.
