You never know when it might come in handy to know what to do in a riot, so I strongly recommend John Camp aka Sandford’s eight Really Useful Tips
to cover that situation, straight from the streets of St Paul, where
there is a Republican convention going on (that’s the thing happening
in the background, where Sarah Palin, governor, mother and
lipstick-sporting pitbull, was on stage last night). The British journalist who made world headlines last month in Beijing when he got carted off by the police should have had this information.

Of course, then he wouldn’t have made the news. Funny,  now that I
think about it, that he did make headlines while none of the people
grabbed by the police, in Camp’s post, got that kind of attention.

Maybe police violence is normal in Minnesota and LA but not in Beijing?

I worked that one out on the basis that "news" is the stuff that is new and different, that doesn’t happen every day.
