I just watched some footage from that day on Youtube. Especially note the conscienceless reactions from police officers in the second half of the clip, and the truly pathetic apologies afterwards. Disturbing is an understatement.Wikipedia said:The Miami model is a term used by political activists to describe the tactics employed by law enforcement agencies during demonstrations relating to the negotions for the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA) trade agreement. The meeting related protests took place in Miami, Florida in November 2003.
