Battle in Seattle Page #3

Synopsis: In late November 1999, masses are descending upon Seattle for the World Trade Organization (WTO) Conference, the first ever held on American soil. Beyond the several delegates, career protesters are also coming to Seattle, they who believe the non-elected organization only exists to support corporate interests at the expense of the poor, working class and the environment among other things. Before the conference, the lead known protesters vow that their demonstrations will be peaceful, while Seattle Mayor Jim Tobin promises that if that be the case that no arrests will be made and no aggressive action, such as the use of tear gas, will be issued. On day one of the conference, tensions on both sides escalate the confrontation between police and protesters, with many innocent people caught in the crossfire. As such, what was promised ends up not happening during the remainder of the conference, where many on both sides work not for the greater good of their side, but rather for their own

We are here today,

to protest.

We do not agree.

We are here today,

to divide them.

All right, bring.

Come, come, fast, fast.

They are on top of the fence.

Move, move.

Bring.

Protect your car,

protect the car.

- Jay, we installed here.

- Watch.

Nobody comes... No one leaves...

Nobody comes... No one leaves.

We have already closed the Paramount.

How is it there?

I'm going now.

Okay, see you later.

Go, go, go.

Blocked.

Jane.

What is happening?

- Do you close the Paramount.

- What? Okay, we go there.

I need to go, please.

Go back to the hotel.

I am not the WTO.

The WTO can help us.

Sorry man,

but we can not.

No one leaves,

no one enters.

This could not happen.

- Sir, we have a delicate situation.

- What is happening out there?

Look at this place.

Delegates can not pass the

is protesters on the other side.

- And the police did not stop?

- No, sir.

And why not?

He gave no orders to arrest

Nobody outside the area of the barricades.

The police are to achieve

passage of delegates, but the

demonstrators are united.

What?

They made circles with his hands and

can not separate their arms.

Lord, the chief of police

is on line 1.

Gordon, I told not to leave

anyone passing by barricades.

We could not do anything.

Today the whole center

is a full one.

You tell them not arresting,

even if we wanted to.

- My thought was no violence.

- There has been experiencing violence.

- What do we do?

- I called the forces of the state.

By calling for firefighters

to stop the protest.

But they refused it.

- What options left, then?

- Only one option left.

Gordon.

I will not hurt people, hear?

I gave them my word.

Oh Jim, I think we have no choice.

Mr.

The White House on line 2.

Okay, okay.

Okay, do you have to do and

do it fast.

- Nervous, Johnson?

- Nervous?

Are you kidding me, man?

- With this sh*t I feel invincible.

- I used to feel that way.

We have new orders, listen up.

Are close to the theater and the order is

to use all the techniques.

No arrest is made,

realized?

So stick to the Protestants

suspend the law and we watch?

All right, Johnson,

come on up.

Therefore, we in groups of five,

are ready.

- You can tell because they are here today?

- Well, basically to defend the

species in danger of extinction that

require mechanisms to maintain them.

The WTO is using these

mechanisms for illegal manner.

Well, love of turtles

but we believe that there are problems

most important in the world that

must address.

Do you think the rules of

maintenance of species are

the same for employment,

and quality of the environment

or our food getting worse.

They just want to get their brands.
