Cases against conventi
agitators lacking evideij
Police witnesses have hard time identifying pro*
PHILADELPHIA (AP) — More
than a dozen police officers were in
jured, police cars were smashed and
City Hall was marred by graffiti as
some demonstrators caused mayhem
during the second night of the Re
publican National Convention.
Four months after police and city
officials vowed stiff penalties for
those they described as professional
agitators, cases are falling apart and
the ijiost serious charges have been
struck down.
“You really have a situation where
you're seeing it was an enormous
overreaction,” said Pennsylvania
ACLU legal director Stefan Presser.
“The police department attempted to
sell both the courts and the public a
bill of goods which is now seen for
what it is, which is ultimately just bad
law enforcement.”
Prosecutors say it is understand
able that police witnesses might not
always be able to identify individual
protesters months later when the
crowds at the time were large and
conditions chaotic.
“Sure it would be nice if every
one had a wonderful memory and
everything was captured in slow-
motion video. ... This is to be ex
pected,” said Assistant District At
torney Trevan Borum.

WTO protesters return to Seaffc^
lis sounds
SEATTLE (AP) —The
World Trade Organization
meeting that collapsed in
clouds of tear gas a year ago
is being marked by activists
this week in a city that is
now known as much for
civic haplessness as it is for
its good coffee and charm.
The violent anti-WTO
street protests that over
whelmed police on Nov.
30, 1999, left Seattle with
permanent scars, some say,
even as it galvanized a
growing movement against
corporate globalization.
“One of the biggest
things we learned with
WTO is that Seattle is not
Mayberry with high-rises,”
said City Council member
Judy Nicastro. “People
don’t play nice anymore.”
To mark the one-year
anniversary, some 5,000
activists are expected to
gather Thursday for
“N30,” the International
Solidarity Day Against
Corporate Globalization.
That number is a fraction
of the 50,000 protesters who
showed up last year, bent on
blocking streets and shut
ting down the WTO meet
ing. By the time the tear gas
cleared, about 600 people
had been arrested, property
damage totaled some $3
million, and Seattle had be
come a global symbol of
popular defiance.
Seattle officials, who
had banked on a civic
boost as hosts to the talks,
were instead targeted by
critics for failing to prepare
and for overreacting to
protesters with tear gas,
rubber bullets and arrests.
Soon after. Police Chief
Norm Stamper announced
his early retirement. May
or Paul Schell, another tar
get of frequent and harsh
criticism, has yet to an-
