CNN footage of protester Leah Lane abused by riot police
CNN, September 4th, 2008
MUST SEE VIDEO. 18-year-old Leah Lane came from Wisconsin to protest the war at the RNC. On the fourth day of the RNC, she refused to obey a dispersal order given by riot police. While clearly not posing any threat to the police, instead of merely arresting Leah, she was repeatedly maced including at point blank range, hit with the tires of police bicycles, and pushed to the ground. Note the two laser sights that cross Lane 13-14 seconds into the footage.
