Some of you saw what went down yesterday and appreciate the injustice involved: two men wer singled out by the cops and were arrested. They now face bogus charges and need our support at 9am this morning. Dept. 13, 850 Bryant (but double-check when you get there to make sure the dept. is correct).

Enough said.

The Chronicle includes this paragraph. The second one is definitely widely up to interpretation.

"Police Lt. Michael Slade said two people - both on the pro-immigrant side - had been arrested, one for allegedly spitting on a sheriff's deputy and one for throwing an unknown liquid at the City Hall steps. The former was cited and released, while the latter was booked into county jail."

So, what was it, and what do they mean by throwing? Did he spill or dribble water, or what would the protest point be of 'throwing' any other substance unless it had significance such as fake blood. Market street would be a sticky mess if they didn't have that green machine thing going up and down all the time.
