190 Arrested in DC

From a friend:

The individual Capitol Cops were great over all but whoever was running the whole show of our incarceration was not. They held us in buses with cuffs for about 5 hours then had us a garage with metal chairs, not able to lie down, no food (but water) for another 5 hours (till 3:30 in the morning). Then when we started to cause a scene, chanting and clapping, they finally let us move around, lay down and eventually fed us bologna sandwiches at 6 am. I got out at 6:30 am after being arrested at 4pm the previous day. A lot of the veteran activists said it was one of the worst arresting experiences in a long while. It was a drag but well worth it.
