it was also after they announced that the FBI or CIA (sorry, on info overload 
here) had an office in wtc and they apparently had reached that level. your 
observation is not cynical, just the facts, ma'am/sir.

meadow asked: what was the firefighters/policemen clash about anyhow?

firefighters held a demonstration saying the didn't think is was right to cut 
back manpower (theirs) because they didn't feel the bodies should be tossed 
into landfills w/the rest of the rubble. they got pissed at the cops, who in 
turn accused them of throwing punches, hence the handcuffs and jailing. we 
are communally entering the anger stage of grief i guess. it is rampant right 
now.

not fully sure how i feel about the decision. the desire to recover loved one 
and comrades is just. what it is doing to those still at ground zero around 
the clock might be considered collateral damage. the effects are showing in 
the eyes of some of the men. it is a heartbreaking no win situation. 
handcuffing and jailing the firefighters was unconscionable (as was the 
timing of the cutbacks), especially since videotape of the incident showed no 
punches being thrown.
