I'm feeling like by the end of the night, we will have had another Kent State.

A few minutes ago - Lawrence O'Donnell mentioned how in the 1960s "police officers gleefully beat protestors" and in comparison he was impressed by the the "professionalism" of the NYPD and - paraphrase - "how everything was proceeding in an orderly fashion... from the camera's perspective". Of course - tv news cameras where shooting people outside the buildings and nobody knows anything about what happened inside.

Lawrence must have "forgotten" about that.

the pigs actively herded all journalists and legal observers away from the area before they breached. which is wild to do when 1) the kids inside are going to film the most harrowing shit regardless and 2) none of the media outlets will air any of that footage anyway.
