Garrett GraffHostSome protesters have been pushed to the ground by federal officers.
Others have been hit or tackled to the ground by police.

Our streets! Our streets!
What we're seeing today is the legacy of that fear Americans experienced in the wake of 9-11.

An apparatus that in the wrong hands has become one of the most authoritarian tools in the history of our country.
