POLICE FIRE RUBBER BULLETS AT PROTESTERS

[mburbank]

The article I read was completely unclear as to who's side the longshoremen were on, and it's a more difficult call than it at first appears. Organized labor has officially come out against the war, though I'm sure lots of individaul longshoremen are for it, especially if you try to close their worksite. On the other other hand, I douybt strongly they have had their union gauranteed pay docked if they were delayed due to a protest.

These are all questions any good article would address, which speaks to what passes for journalism these days.

Abcdzxx; are you from Portland, Or. I lived there about 20 years ago during a banner period of police brutality. There was also a scandal involving the police making a habbit of leaving dead possums on the back steps of Soul Food Restaurants.
