On Sunday, June 10th, marchers commemorated the 40th anniversary of Israel's armed conquest of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. While over a thousand gathered on the US Capitol West Lawn, Capitol Police fought to forcibly exclude the SDS feeder march.

Probably the Capitol Police are still sore from the asswhipping they got on Jan 27th, when a 700 strong SDS bloc of shield-bearing anarchists defeated them and stormed up Capitol Hill, leaving behind chalked slogans. That led to one of the "least effective" GOP Congressmen calling for a massive federal investigation of antiwar protesters.
