Weintraub: Cops' protest tactics cost lots in dollars and in liberty

Daniel Weintraub: Cops' protest tactics cost lots in dollars and in liberty

By Daniel Weintraub -- Bee Columnist

I thought the anti-globalization demonstrators who descended upon Sacramento last week were, for the most part, overly afraid of the future and hopelessly wedded to the status quo, no matter how bad it is for billions of people in the developing world.

But as the conference of agricultural ministers, and the demonstrations, came to a close, I realized that something else bothered me even more than what the protestors had to say. It was the way the state and local police forces mobilized to keep them from saying it, or at least to keep many people from hearing their message.

The law enforcement tactics I saw last week are part of a growing trend.

Full column...


Weintraub's assessment echoes the appraisal made by one of the other hosts of the news hour when I was on last week.
