It confounds me how pro-war supporters think that the anti-war protesters don't support the troops, and how anti-war protestors think that troop supporters are pro-war. Well, admittedly showing my bias, I think very, very few anti-war protesters don't support the troops and want them to come home unharmed, whereas I think the majority of troop supporters also are pro-war. There was a pro-troop rally in S.F. that was ostensibly neither pro-war or anti-war. So why were the SFPD, who have been harassing and arresting protesters these past two weeks, donning U.S. flag bandanas and ordering anti-war protesters to leave? I want to give the cops benefit of the doubt that they are just doing their jobs and keeping the peace, but . . . I just can't.
