Shocking video clips of police brutality and arrests during the 2004 Republican National Convention in New York City. Mayor Bloomberg directed the NYPD to stifle Constitutional rights of free speech and freedom of assembly by stopping any "protests" that may embarrass George Bush and the Republican party.
Clips in part 1 of this playlist are two days before the Convention even began, when police arrested 250 people during the Critical Mass bike ride, a non-partisan event which has occurred every month since 1994. Even more shocking, many of those being arrested had nothing to do with the bike ride, but had the misfortune of crossing the street while this was happening.
