This totally made my day. The Wingers are saying that "Team Obama" called in the riot police, but anyone with a brain knows that the feds have little to do with local policing matters for these things and it's much more probable that Quincy City Hall jumped at the chance to get these guys out of mothballs and put them thru the routine. Check out the comments from where I got the vid- cue the Black Helicopters!!
UPDATE- Sorry kids, still not called in by Team Obama. Per Dave-
More at Dave's.The story, from the Quincy Herald Whig.
There were a few tense moments when the crowd moved west down York toward Third Street after the president's motorcade arrived. A Secret Service agent asked the crowd to move back across the street to the north side.
When the crowd didn't move and began singing "God Bless, America" and the national anthem, Quincy Deputy Police Chief Ron Dreyer called for members of the Mobile Field Force to walk up the street.
The officers, mainly from Metro East departments near St. Louis and dressed in full body armor, marched from the east and stood on the south side of York facing the protesters.
There was no physical contact, and the officers did not come close to the crowd, but there were catcalls and more than a few upset tea party members, including a woman who shouted, "This is communism!"
