Stream: Cop just took a kid, threw him on his face and threw him in a paddy wagon.

Crowd started screaming at the delegates that were trying to get into the MSG

Said that there is plenty of media there taking pictures.
Said if it's not on TV, it's not because pictures and reports are not being made.

Crowd saying again and again: These are OUR Streets.

Medics are needed at 27th and Park Ave.
