ALEC Protest Arrests in Chicago

Occupy Austin

I have a lot of photos of what went down today and many others are on Twitter. I'm holding most of mine pending NLG review, but here's a video of the chaos we witnessed today at ‪#‎ALEC‬ Exposed in ‪#‎Chicago‬ Rally. As Christina @Siun O'Connell put it, "after the celebrities leave it's time to beat some kids!" After Jesse Jackson & union leaders left, police began brutal snatch and grab arrests. Police are the only union members so eager to beat their own union brothers & sisters.

6 arrests, jail support ongoing, rumors of felony charges.
