I found more and saw the videos of it. Not good - light bulbs filled with paint. That wasn't a peaceful protest.

(KTVI - myFOXstl.com) --

A violent protest in University City ends with several arrests. An estimated 30 to 50 people were on Delmar carrying signs and protesting an event in Greece a few weeks ago where a Greek policeman allegedly shot and killed a teenage boy.

The group said it is against police brutality and yelled profanities at U City officers. At one point they blocked traffic on Delmar and refused to move. That's when police moved in and made six arrests.

Major Ernest Green with University City Police said, "We have one officer that was struck on his shoulder with we believe a metal pole. This group had sticks for their signs, they had metal poles, and they also had a few air compressors. They had light bulbs filled with paint.”

The six people arrested face a number of charges including resisting arrest and destruction of city property.

"Israel must defend itself," the paper intoned a few days into the bombing attack on Gaza that quickly left 350 people dead, expressing regret only that the action was "unlikely to weaken" Hamas. The editorial affected a neutral assessment of the situation that failed to mention either the Israeli occupation of Palestine or the month-and-half-long blockade of Gaza that preceded the bombardment and, among much other deprivation, left the region's few hospitals drastically undersupplied with medicine, gauze or even space to treat the flood of newly wounded.

With that omission securely in place, and clear signals emanating from every sentence that the right of heavily armed U.S. allies to bomb powerless Third World "enemies" into good behavior would not be questioned, the Times editorial remembered its compassionate side sufficiently to declare: "Israel must make every effort to limit civilian casualties."

How decent of them. Or as Jerry Seinfeld might have put it: Yada yada yada
