Finally, for anti-RNC protesters looking for advance intelligence on how the NYPD plans to police this summers RNC, we have a description of today's die-in at Rockefeller Center: "Police presence at the protest was particularly strong for the size of the group involved. Several police could be found at every corner for three or for blocks around the site of the protest, and the sidewalk with the penned-off protest area had more than twenty policeman at some points, in addition to the dozen or so across the street and others in police vehicles parked nearby. As the protest group reached a peak of about thirty, this adds up to a ratio of nearly two policemen for every protester." [ Read More ] [ NY IMC Video Short ]
