Miami police state photos and comments.

I am the bloody girl bandaged up in the picture. I have staples in my head now but my wounds were minor compared to some that i witnessed. I am looking for video of the front lines as this happened- I was shot in the back repeatedly as were all those who came to help me- one man was shot 7 times for helping me.
I am also putting a book together of TRUE STORIES, and would like people to submit them to my email adress.
By the way - I cant recall the faces of those who helped me.... so to those of you that picked me up ( i was crawling after the first 2-3 shots) and blocked me from further bullets - THANK YOU!
And it's not just Miami. And it's not just the Iraq war. Remember the 60s anyone? Contrast this country that claims to be a bastion of freedom and democracy, and which attacks its citizens for protesting government policy, with the former (soon to be again, I'd be willing to wager) evil socialist Russia where the president says the welfare of the people must take precedence.
Now you see why Brutal Dictator Tot kept claiming in England that he was proud to visit a country where there was freedom of speech. His own country does not permit it.
And you Miami policemen. You swore to protect the citizenry of your city. You make a mockery of justice and protection. The shame is yours.
From IndyMedia.
Our legal team estimates more than 250 arrests. People have become political prisoners and are being held in jail. More than 50 of them were arrested while holding a peaceful vigil outside the jail in solidarity with those inside. They were surrounded by riot police and ordered to disperse. As they did, police opened fire and blocked the streets preventing many from leaving. Watch Video at: http://www.ftaaimc.org/en/2003/11/1968.shtml

Concurrent protests at Ft. Benning Georgia to close down the School of the Americas is covered here. Again by IndyMedia.
