It looks a lot like cops are busting people at City Hall. From Stop Ford From Destroying Our City's live reports, however, it also looks a lot like we're winning—the Honourable Wife-Beater's proposed cuts were rejected.

ETA II: One of my friends and Fellow Workers was arrested and AFAIK isstill in jail as of this morning. If you want to send messages of solidarity (especially if you're a Wob) PM or e-mail me.
