My only problem (and I may have missed it on first reading) is that I don't see him negating the police's claims that store property was smashed. Not that I'm saying demonstrat^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hstreet-partiers all smash windows. But, often when a large gathering to make a statement about how business owns the world and our rights are subverted because of McDonald's blah blah blah (which I generally agree with) there's a couple bad eggs who like to smash it up. No, I don't think this means the police should have taken on the kindly folks on the streets or sidewalks the way they did, but if he is to paint an accurate picture, no facts should be admitted and any wrongs on "his side" should be acknowledged, rather than professing complete innocence on the part of the good guys.

IMHO, of course.
