Oh, by the way, over 700 arrests of protestors at this point, and what does the NYT have to say about it?
"Until now, the organized protests that have drawn hundreds of thousands of people have proceeded mostly without violence."
Tell me - which side does this misstatement serve?

How is this a misstatment? Or how is it inconsistant with your assertion that 700 protestors have been arrested? Were they all arrested for being violent? Or were some of them
film crews using the protests as a backdrop? At least one appears to have been arrested for attempting to correct a misunderstanding regarding a co-worker (see prior cited story).
I'm not saying it's not biased to say that the protests have proceeded mostly without violence, but no more biased than to mention 700 arrests without mentioning that most of them are not for violent acts, but rather for (non-violently) protesting in manners not approved, such as sit-ins.
