(US) Pepper spray, 12 arrests at rally against police seminar

[Animalconcerns Info]

SEATTLE (AP) - Police using pepper spray arrested 12 people Monday night
at a march and rally by about 400 activists protesting an annual training
seminar of the Law Enforcement Intelligence Unit.

Protesters equated the group with a secret police force.

The five-day LEIU seminar titled ''Criminal Intelligence and the War on
Terrorism'' began Monday at the Red Lion Inn.
...
Other groups in the anti-LEIU coalition include the Not in Our
Name-Seattle project, the American Friends Service Committee, Radical
Women, the Green Party and the Northwest Animal Rights Network.

The LEIU Web site listed on press releases, www.leiu2003seattle.org, was
shut down Friday and remained unavailable Monday, so little information
was immediately available on the organization, founded in 1956.
