ratioby passerby Wednesday, Oct. 02, 2002 at 5:49 PMI went by this protest last night and it looked like there were way more cops than protestors. It was ridiculous--those massive BH SUV cop cruisers parked all over, a ton of cops in full riot gear standing in front of the store, and cops scattered everywhere around the streets. I felt good knowing my tax dollars were being so well spent to protect a Beverly Hills department store and its shoppers from peaceful expression of opinion. So fucking stupid.
