This is not what democracy looks like

This is what the Tea Party and the Boston Police look like!  A Boston police officer "pushes" by the neck an Occupy Boston protester identified by name ("Allie"), but not gender, during Occupy's demonstration against a Tea Party hate rally on Sunday.

There's currently an "investigation" underway, and the Boston Police are "scrutinizing" this photo.  But sometimes a picture is worth a thousand memos, isn't it.

(Of course maybe the officer just felt threatened by that very scary purple wig.)
