PITTSBURGH — Two women protesting the war in Iraq were taken to a hospital
Saturday after police broke up an unauthorized march involving about five
dozen people on a busy one-way street near an Army recruiting station.

David Meieran, who helped organize the protest, accused police of
“inappropriate and excessive force.”

Sgt. Clint Winkler, a supervisor on duty, told The Associated Press that
one woman who would not leave was subdued with a Taser. He also confirmed that
a police dog bit another woman on the leg when she refused police orders to
disperse.

Both women and a man involved in the march were arrested, Winkler said.

“They were told to disperse, peacefully disperse, and failed to do so, so
we started down the sidewalk — officers in front, K-9’s behind us, and
started pushing the crowd down the sidewalk,” Winkler said. He said the march
broke up after the arrests.

The recruiting station was not open at the time.

The war protest movement is gaining momentum and that should scare the Bush
administration. You can bet on them trying some anti-terrorism mumbo jumbo if it
gets to big; something like “we don’t know if al Qaeda is here, but they could
talk perfect cover in a protest march”.

Way to stand your ground ladies, and way to fuck up our first amendment
