I took a couple other photos from this same
spot, of the same flannel guy: here and here. I left before the pushing started, I
thought they were all about to give up and go
back to the rally. Oh well.
(Or maybe, since the cops don't have masks on
yet in your photo, maybe yours was taken
before I got there?)
Your pics definitely were from after the
scuffle. The pushing happened very early on
in the standoff -- right after the anarchists
arrived. And that included someone setting
off a firecracker, which scared the hell out
of a lot of people. The riot police were
called in as reinforcements after that.
