The Face of Democracy

In New Orleans, opponents of the demolition of public housing tried to get into a city council meeting which was said to be disproportionately composed of demolition supporters. They railed against an iron gate, which was locked tight against them.

Police showed up -- 40 on foot, and 12 on horseback -- and 4 people were sent to the hospital after they were tasered and sprayed with Gods-know-what chemical (probably mace/pepper-spray).

Democracy in action? Yeah, right.

Read the whole story and you be the judge:
