I accidentally caught a few minutes of Channel 9’s coverage of the counter-protest in which the reporter quoted police as saying they’d only made one arrest, which begs the question of what cops were doing with the two people I saw them (a) pepper-spraying on the ground and (b) slamming into a wall?
