      XPost: misc.survivalism, alt.politics.immigration, sac.politics       XPost: alt.california       From: mexicans@badnews.com              Anaheim's police chief on Tuesday decried the unrest and       violence on the streets of the city's downtown, saying his       officers had shown "great restraint" amid angry protests.              Scores of demonstrators converged on City Hall to protest a       fatal officer-involved shooting Saturday.              Chief John Welter said that officers had rocks and bottles       thrown at them. Officers responded with nonlethal rounds.              "I respect the people's right to demonstrate, but I wish that       they weren't demonstrating in a violent manner," Welter said.              He added that some in the crowd did not appear to be residents       of Anaheim. "This concerns me greatly."              Shortly before 9 p.m. Tuesday, law enforcement officers in       Anaheim issued a dispersal order to protesters at the       intersection of Anaheim and Broadway.              One officer used a megaphone to declare an unlawful assembly and       shouted to demonstrators to leave the area: "You must disperse       .. if you do not, you will be arrested."              At least two arrests have been made, authorities said, and an       Orange County Register reporter was injured by a thrown rock.              Just after 9 p.m., authorities fired nonlethal projectiles into       the crowd, scattering many of the demonstrators.              The crowd quickly moved toward a corner gas station, where       people pounded on pumps as others chanted "Si se puede." Some       set off firecrackers in the lot as people ran away. At one point       a black police truck was struck by an object.              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
