Does anyone think they could arrest 700 people that don't want to go to jail?  You can turn a party into a riot, but you can turn a protest into a revolution.                The will of the people is the only legitimate foundation of any government, and to protect its free expression should be our first object.

if these bus drivers really want to keep the cops off then they should get out of the bus and join the protest
