...attendees in Seattle from Third World countries agreed with some of the protesters' points, making it easier to disrupt the meeting there. All of which means the police action could be a bit of overkill. Shutting down the staging area looked petty, and it's not a tremendously effective tactic against a protesting organization with few, if any, recognizable leaders and a diffuse management structure. Most of this organization from this movement comes from its various web sites. And there are no codes against that...
