There is some strange stuff attached to this clip, but even the brief 
blurb should give people a view of the courageous school workers, 
their  key issue, and the cops, cops everywhere. These are the same 
corrupt cops that the mayor of TJ  disarmed a few weeks ago. 
Apparently they can have their guns back to fight teachers.

There is no reason teachers in the US cannot research key choke 
points in their own cities and duplicate this action, in conjunction 
with parents and kids, about the regimented curricula, high-stakes 
exams, book, supplies, lower class size, rejecting militarization, 
the tax system which targets the working class, pay, and benefits 
(Margaret Haley did all of this almost one hundred years ago, there 
is nothing new about it, except the press of circumstances, like the 
perpetual wars) .

There is a brief blurb on the left of the link below, showing the 
size of the demonstration.
