These cops are blocking the bridge to the convention.

Even though protestors applied for permits to march, they were denied. The police declare the march illegal and subject to dispersal.

This is the big standoff, where people try to negotiate the continuation of the march.

Negotiations fail!

Some of the 12-15,000 cops at the event... more were called in for the second day.

Protestors target McCorporations!

This is a stun grenade and tear gas pic... police also used water cannons, batons, pepper spray and rubber bullets.

This guy is trying to slow down the cops who are pursuing the crowd.

Pacifists right before they are attacked and beaten... this type of thing didn't make the mainstream media.

This is part of a burning barricade designed to keep delegates inside the convention centre, and hold off police attacks.

This water cannon was almost hit with a molotov cocktail... note the flames on the ground in front.

This is some of the heavy equipment the police had on hand.

No comment.
