SEATTLE (AP) - Seattle police say there were no arrests as a group of self-identified anarchists staged a march against police brutality.

About 30 protesters wearing scarves, masks and paint on their faces marched Friday from a Capitol Hill park through downtown and back up the hill. Dozens of police accompanied them.

The Seattle Times reports ( http://is.gd/Mcscti) that a similar gathering at City Hall Park drew an estimated three dozen protesters to what organizers called the "March 15th International Day Against Police Brutality."

    The police seemed to be on their best behavior at this tiny event.......as did the 30 marcher/protesters.

    I get the warm and fuzzies when everyone plays nicely together.

    Probably would have had a different outcome if the group had numbered a few thousand. The bad eggs would have shown up and the police would have gone back into head busting mode............sigh....
