two people sat with their neck's u-locked to each other in the middle of the road, with approx. 12-15 people softblocking [not locked to things, but blocking the road] around them. when the first forest service vehicle stopped, a man went under the truck and used a lockbox to attach himself to the rear axle. after awhile the LEO [law enforcement officers] roped off the area and forced everyone not willing to face arrest out of the area. 9-10 people, including those locked down, stayed in. the police began to arrest those who weren't locked down, and since the media had not yet arrived [the sun was just beginning to rise] they treated the people harshly. people were dragged, sat on, raised by their hands cuffed behind their back, and generally mistreated, despite a complete lack of resistance. Once corporate media arrived on the scene, the police became more gentle and began to put the protesters who were going limp into stretchers to be carried out. Original Breaking News Report: Reports from the field indicate that four people have locked down to the Green Bridge, blocking access to the Fiddler Timber Sale.
