People of Dissent of all ages took to the streets of Philadelphia for several permitted and unpermitted actions during the 4 day Biotechnology Conference. Philadelphia has a different kind of Cop called a Civil Affairs Officer; they wear sport coats and Arm Bands instead of the regular blue uniform. I asked one of them what the deal with the arm bands was and He Said: "I'm The Police." When pressed further he stated that the Arm Band guys were there specifically to ensure that people got their 1st ammendmant rights. A couple days later I saw a gang of these Civil Affairs Officers charging into a crowd of unsuspecting innocent bystanders; swinging 2 fisted, kicking, shoving peacfully gathered people .. and one of them had a heart attack and died.

And the 1st Ammendmant? Well, it died too as 1 BioTech dissenter was actually arrested for violating it. (the right to free speech) ... Apparently he was having a silent vigil.

Also during the melee an Officer of the Law grabbed my old Digital 8 camera from the hands of it's operator, threw it to the ground and kicked it. It died too.

That's distruction of property ...
that's censorship and that's what happened.
