Eventually the roof was used as a FSM platform.

The amazing arrest of Jack Weinberg,placed in a police car,and surrounded by protesters for 32 hours.This is what Democracy looked like, "back in the day"!

Thanks for this Keith! I haven't seen this before. Good to see how it started.

Thanks Magda:

One of the things that I find quite interesting,is that the police back then,even though they still kicked ass,seem to have some basic humanity left in them.Compare the police in the video to the robotrons that we have today.It's a vivid reminder of just how far we've slipped into the abyss.
