I guess the Seattle police told them a lot, because they obviously dealt with the situation in an ignorant manner!
We had WTO here in Chicago about a year ago, and unlike Seattle, it was pretty quiet- I think the police here were much better prepared- they'd performed drills and practiced dealing with mass protestors, and they also allowed protestors to march the streets at allotted times, which helped keep the situation calm too.
Too bad this cyclist isn't in Chicago. You could get away with almost anything on a bike here....
