I saw this on Countdown last night. Un-freakin'-believable. I am also dumbstruck that a NY City Councilman was beaten and arrested for simply going there to observe the raid. Annnnd, he was denied access to a lawyer for 17 hours!! he held a press conference about it yesterday, and Mayor Bloomberg hasn't said jack shit about it. Can you say
police state?!?!?!?
