Some activists admit they baited police.
After a day marked by angry brawls with police, protesters promised more disruptions today as George W. Bush arrived in Philadelphia for the Republican National Convention. Police said 283 people were arrested yesterday, most for misdemeanors but 10 charged with assaulting police. Police commissioner John Timoney was one of several people slightly injured in clashes between police and protesters. Philadelphians returned to work downtown today but with feelings of uncertainty. They should protest in front of government officials, not working people.
