First Police Along March Route

These were the first police encountered along the march route. They seemed to be just observing at this point in time.
March Turns Towards Petersen Events Center
by Brad Cue

The march turned towards the Petersen Events Center where a Pitt basketball game was ready to occur. This is where the march first encountered both agresive police presence and angry citizens. While marching up the hill one participant was singled out by police for arrest but a successful unarrest was performed. A quick change of appearance avoided future arrest.

Angry White Men Part 1

These two angry white men sure were good at posing and yelling. The man on the left just liked to give the finger and scream a lot. The man on the right kept turning around and pointing the the USMC logo on his back and yelling "This is where it's at!" I'm sure both are proud to be immortalized on the web.
Aggresive Police

This was the first police officer encountered with a large baton. He seemed rather timid, but was soon joined by his angrier partner.
Angry White Men Part 2

Yet another angry white man. This one, driving a late model Cadillac nearly ran over a group of marchers as he quickly backed out of a parking garage. After nearly being struck, I snapped this picture and was then threatened by a police officer with a large baton.

The officer on the left was much angrier than his counterpart on the right. He seemed intent on using that baton for something. Luckily, as far as I know, no one was struck.
Screaming Cop

Once again, this officer was angry! He really liked to yell at people. This is the same officer that threatened me with his baton for taking a picture of the man in the Cadillac.

Up Fifth Ave!
by Brad Cue
Sunday, Mar. 02, 2003 at 11:43 PM
The march went past the William Pitt Union along Bigelow Blvd and proceeded to go against the flow of traffic up Fifth Ave for a few blocks. The police attempted to stop the progress of the march and even called in a police wagon, but the march went on.
Angry White Men Part 3
by Brad Cue
Sunday, Mar. 02, 2003 at 11:43 PM
This man felt the need to express his intelligence to everyone by jumping forth from his vehicle and yelling at the marchers. All he could muster was continuous screams of "Fuck You Asshole!" This was the only man along the route who I thought may resort to violence, but he did not. Once he noticed the flashes firing in his direction he moved away. I'm sure he is also proud to be immortalized for all to see.
Note: Is it just me, or does anyone else notice a pattern with the angry people along the route? The only angry people I encountered were middle-aged white men sporting moustaches ans short hair. And they were all so articulate in their views, screaming obscenities and trying to run people over in their Caddy's. These are the faces of war-mongers.
Supportive in Traffic

There were many more people flashing peace signs from their vehicles than those jumping forth and screaming at us.
Cathedral of Learning
by Brad Cue
Sunday, Mar. 02, 2003 at 11:43 PM
Noticing a roadblock at Forbes and Bellefield, much of the march tuned and went across the Cathedral of Learning Lawn. It was estimated that a mass arrest was less likely to occur on campus. Some of the march proceeded further, but at this point I didn't wish to risk arrest and continue on more.
