[PAA-Discuss] A new May Day

[Massoud Nayeri]

To "review the use of force" means absolutely nothing. The attack by police was an act of intimidation against immigrant workers and like other countries, this was a calculated political decision and was not accidental. 

The 2008 May Day will answer this question.

  I wonder what "review the use of force" means:   Practise firing more rubber bullets?   Developing better aim?   Convincing us all that rubber bullets are the new, improved, "non-lethal" upgrade over archaic bullets?

    rubber bullets used by police to restrain protesters kill and maim too often to be considered a safe method of crowd control, .
