Fuck.

Now, I don't think it's some coordinated movement against Climate Change Activists; but local police getting scared by the big smelly hippies? That seems plausible- after all, you never know how many of them have drugs, or gay porn.

(UPDATE/Clarity: I do imagine they may have been scared of some sort of eco-terrorism, and being spurred to ensure it didn't happen by wealthy business people. I still don't think it was a conspiracy; merely stupid.)
