Capitol: A building or complex of buildings in which any legislature meets.
Capital: A city designated as a legislative seat by the government or some other authority, often the city in which the government is located; otherwise the most important city within a country or a subdivision of it.



So, how long until the police finally figure out that telling the press an variation of "You are not allowed here to exercise your first amendment rights" causes them to smell blood in the water?

They don't want protests at all. They're trying to force them to leave altogether.

About the same time they figure out that using LRADs and sending in a hundred riot cops to shout at a peaceful protest is a bad thing.

Maybe they should all start writing "PRESS" on their signs so they can stay in the bullet-free press zone without playing musical sidewalks.

I can loving see why Amnesty International is deploying. The only thing separating these police actions from third-world countries is that nobody's been executed or disappeared into a van.

Were it not for the massive press presence, there's no way they don't move on the group with the sign. Don't misinterpret their constraint.
