I can’t help being impressed by the visual qualities in this video from last night’s tear-gas police attack on Oakland Occupy-ers. It’s all “natural,” so to speak, and it looks like something lighted by Vittorio Storaro in Apocalypse Now. Politically and historically speaking, whatever happened to the basic First Amendment right to peaceably assemble?
