Los Angeles band Ozomatli, who developed a strong fan base among LA progressives by playing hundreds of benefit shows during the late 1990s, and who were at the DNC protests when the police started running down the audience as they waited for Ozo to start playing, found itself at the spicy end of the pepper-spray gun again. Wil-Dog, Jiro, and manager Amy were arrested after a scuffle with police resulting from a disagreement about whether conga lines should be allowed to wind out to the sidewalk, or remain entirely confined within a nightclub. Debate was squelched by volleys of pepper spray.
