Easily the best report to come out of the 'Battle in Seattle.' The report illustrates the diminishing differences between our domestic police forces and the military. It includes text on the undemocratic means that the WTO was brought to Seattle and why it is neccesary to inflict violence upon protesting populations when such an undemocratic institution holds meetings. A history of the use of 'non'lethal' weapons is given. Detailed explanations of how the Seattle Police incorrectly used such weapons is given. Finally, coorelations are made between the breakdown of talks inside the Convention Center and the caos that police perpetuated on the streets. Included are many quotes from NLG Legal Observers, public police abuse reports, and police chat room exchanges. What some of these cops say to each other is chilling.

This report is a must-read for anyone thinking of attending political protests at the DNC. You must educate yourselves and be very aware of what the legions of tyranny and their hired oppressors are capable of.
