| In no mood for yet another Battle in Seattle, police came out in force, hemming in a small crowd protesting the World Trade Organization and the advance of global capitalism. Officers quickly arrested anyone who stepped out of line -- or off the sidewalk -- during the midday event. Police took 13 people into custody, all on misdemeanor offenses ranging from trespassing to pedestrian interference. By 6 p.m. the demonstrations had all but dissolved. |
