I'll tell you what didn't make any freaking sense. They didn't want the protesters to gather on Michigan Avenue because they said it would disrupt traffic. Then they completely blocked off Michigan Avenue with huge busses and surrounded the entire block with about eight hundred police. As if out of spite, all traffic was blocked by the police, NOT BY THE PROTESTERS, yet no protesters were allowed to use Michigan Avenue anyway. When one protester attempted to walk down Michigan Avenue, the police pulled him away by the hair.

What a farce!
