Miami Police Attack Kucinich Supporters
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 21, 2003
Congressman and Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich will be phoning the Miami Chief of Police to inquire as to the reasons for the attack on supporters of his campaign who were protesting the FTAA conference in Miami yesterday.
At 10:30 a.m. yesterday the Miami Police Department attempted to push back a crowd of Dennis Kucinich supporters who were protesting the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) conference. By all accounts the crowd was complying with police requests to move back when the police riot squad attacked with mace and tear gas without warning. Witnesses said that about 1,000 people, most of whom were Kucinich supporters from North Carolina, were attacked without provocation by the riot squad.
