RNC Protest Pictures

After surfing the web all day in hopes of finding pictures that illustrates the atmosphere between the 3 camps: anti-Bush, pro-Bush and the Police, I was successful. This NY Newsday slideshow, though not truly reflective of the violence that I've seen on Fox 5 news here in NY, does give you a glimpse of what's going on.

Unfortunately, there are no images of the protestors beating Police Detective Sample unconcious last night. He is currently in critical condition and his assailant, which escaped with the help of other protestors, is still being sought.

This blows me away. What is with these people?

Amazing. It leaves me shaking my head, speechless.

But have you noticed how many of the protesters are wearing masks or scarves and won't reveal their identity? I don't know about you, but if I feel strongly enough to protest something I'm not gonna hide who I am.

And those poor police officers! What a no-win situation. Geez. Can you imagine getting up for work every day this week and knowing this is the crap you're gonna have to deal with!?!?

I took a look at the NY Post online edition, and it seems there's been an arrest in the beating of Det. Sample.
