Police just don't show up with that kind of gear unless they plan to use it. However ... it's absurd to think that they planned to attack the corporate media. That was clearly a mistake and a deviation from their plan. Media and spin control is now at the top of the list of every mass police and military action, the top planners and strategists consider it another - in some ways, the most important - element of warfare. Also: to be honest, it's kind of an exaggeration to say that there were '100s' of police involved. However, the important point is that we shouldn't let them spin this as an 'unfortunate mistake,' it is much more likely that they planned to clear the park from well before Mayday.","author":"A","parent_id":198666,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2007-05-19 05:52:05","modified":"2007-05-19 05:52:05","fileurl":""},{"id":199293,"heading":"Response to &quot;yes but...&quot;.
