Police harrass Art Institute anti-war vigil

Yesterday, police showed up near the end of the anti-war vigil in front of the Art Institute. They made demands that the vigilers not stand with/carry their signs on the sidewalk. Hooshi and others
refused to comply stating they were not doing anything illegal. Pretty soon the officers called in backup units. At least one in plainclothes was taking photos of the scene with a high quality camera from various angles about 100 feet away.

It would be good if others show up for future vigils, starting at 1:30 on Sundays
