QUOTE: From Salon:
Surprisingly, for San Francisco, the overmatched police earned more sympathy than the protesters in some normally liberal quarters. The San Francisco Chronicle's Rob Morse even found a protester to praise the cops: "If this were Washington, we'd all be bloody by now," said an honest older protester. "The cops here are really great." Added Morse: "And so they are. They're worth every penny of that $500,000 a day that will never go to General Hospital or housing for the poor." Morse blasted the demonstrators as "high on their own rage and self-righteousness," and asked: "Why should a self-appointed army of occupation forcibly try to make San Franciscans feel pain, especially when we're against the pain of war already?"
"Thou shalt not extinguish thine anger, but shall master it,
that thy conscience may not be blunted by adjustment
to wrong causes."
