So, these kids at the concert are supposed to be experts at military rifles? Chances are they are using their limited knowledge of something to describe what they saw. You can watch the video and SEE the flak helmets, the army fatigues, the weapons, the beatings, the mayhem.

Larry, this wasn't an anti-war demonstration. These kids weren't hurting anyone, doing anyone harm or even threatening anyone. You doubt the whole story? This group of military, SWAT and police teams were there for ONLY one reason,...... to disperse the crowd BY FORCE and destroy any evidence that they had done so.

    - They were probably police officers (perhaps SWAT) as et suggests - Larry J - 12/27/2005 8:26:21 PM
  - Not in this context anyway....These guys were likely SLC area SWAT. (n/t) - et - 12/27/2005 6:46:06 PM
    - If they were Salt Lake City SWAT, then they were police officers, not Army soldiers - Larry J - 12/27/2005 8:23:36 PM
