Citizens For Legitimate Government:
Miami Police Attack Kucinich Supporters
For Immediate Release: November 21, 2003 --
by Stephanie Donald, Florida Media Coordinator
"Congressman and Presidential
Candidate Dennis Kucinich will be phoning the Miami Chief of Police to
inquire as to the reasons for the attack on supporters of his campaign
who were protesting the FTAA conference in Miami yesterday.
At 10:30 a.m. yesterday the
Miami Police Department attempted to push back a crowd of Dennis Kucinich
supporters who were protesting the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA)
conference.
By all accounts the crowd was
complying with police requests to move back when the police riot squad
attacked with mace and tear gas without warning.
Witnesses said that about 1,000
people, most of whom were Kucinich supporters from North Carolina, were
attacked without provocation by the riot squad."
