SFPD WATCH
LATEST UPDATES:
• Aiming to stop the war before it starts -- by stopping business as usual -- hundreds turned out at 6:30 in the morning on 3/14 to shut down the Pacific Stock Exchange in downtown San Francisco. Protesters sat in the middle of Market Street and "the whole downtown was tied up" above ground, according to eyewitnesses; SFPD reports 80 protesters were arrested and taken to the Hall of "Justice."
