Update from DC
27.09.2002 17:51
-11:55am: About an hour ago a protester wearing "queer" gear was on a bus with other detainees. Police got on the bus, dragged him off the bus and into a police vehicle, after beating him up. Cries were heard from the vehicle. As yet there are no charges that any press has been informed of for any of the arrestees. One lieutenant said they would be out by the end of the day.
-11:50am: 15th and E busses 7 and 8 just left. 35 to 40 people per bus, that makes over 300 arrests. They are still arresting and taking people. Things appear to be winding down. Some cops are leaving.
-11:40am: Brandon from Chapel Hill IMC, arrested at 15th and Pennsylvania, reports from the police-commandeered metrobus that all the arrestees on his bus are unharmed and having a "good time". Earlier (9:56-11:30am) breaking news including Freedom Plaza and Pershing Square arrests.
