Here's some video footage of the July 29th protest outside the DNC in Boston. The "clash with police, 2 more arrests" footage closely details cops arresting 2 people who were doing nothing disruptive or threatening. The "riot cops vs. street performers" video is pretty absurd too; over 30 cops, many in riot geat, escorted 9 street performers down the street.
The above video shows the initial rally and beginning of the march, and more video (including the arrest footage) can be found below.

One of the more absurd moments of the day, this video shows and handful of guerilla street theater performers being escorted by over 2 dozen mostly riot-geared cops. Even Orwell would laugh.

About 10 minutes after the effigy burning, cops swoop in to snatch the 2 people they accuse of lighting the fire. This video shows protesters' response to the arrests.

This video clearly shows the random arrest of an additional 2 protesters. The first was arrested when a cop accused him of knocking his hat off his head, however i have no idea why the second person was arrested. As the video shows, he was doing nothing but standing around when he was grabbed.

Aside from the stuff i got on video, I witnessed several examples of brutality, including several activists being wacked in the head with batons and being pushed face-first onto the pavement. Even Amy Goodman got shoved by police while interviewing. I wonder if Kerry ever got his face busted with a baton while protesting the Viewnam war. Fucking hypocrite.
