Million Mask March confronts barricades at Supreme Court, one activist tasered elsewhere

On the 5th of November, Anonymous's Million Mask March took to the streets of DC as they did last year. A confrontation with police erupted at the Supreme Court as barricades were torn down. Elsewhere protesters blocked Constitution Ave and another tense confrontation came after cops tasered a protester.

The protester arrested in the Taser incident displayed a wrist injury that looked like one made by handcuffs in the video. The police involved were Department of Homeland Security/Federal Protective Services. They have had a violent day, having earlier used excessive force against anti-fracking/gas export protesters at FERC, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. They also made illegal arrests of protesters attempting to comply with warnings to disperse (from blockades) at that protest.

No amount of police violence seemed to be able to blunt the raw energy of the Million Mask March, reported to be still going strong hours later at 4:30PM, marching from target to target
