RUSSELL WARDLOW REPORTS from the Oakland protests, where the police fired wooden bullets. (Wood? I’ve heard of rubber bullets, and plastic bullets, but this is a new one to me.)

I won’t weigh in on the crowd-control strategy — I’ll just note that people who set out to block shipments of war materiel to soldiers in wartime could easily be prosecuted for treason. This wasn’t simple civil disobedience.

UPDATE: Here, courtesy of reader Allen Roberts, MD, is some information on wooden bullets.
