An extreme example (not rail related) was three guys with anti-GOP signs at the GOP National Convention in Philly in 2000. They were beaten up by a group of Philly cops and arrested for assault and battery on a police officer. When their trial came up a couple years later, dozens of cops gave eyewitness testimony corroborating the police version. The former Police Commissioner even came up from Miami, where he is still Police Chief, and gave his eyewitness account.Then the defense came up with a surprise witness. The group was four guys, not three. The fourth videotaped the entire proceeding, showing the the police attacked the three guys without provocation and beat them up. The cops were totally pissed that the three "punks" were aquitted. Of course, no police were charged with perjury or assault and battery. After all, Philly has a tradition (Frank Rizzo) to uphold. BYW, Union Pacific took a twenty-plus car business train to the Convention, powered by three E9's, two of which were photographable.
