Gaza war protesters break through security fence near Democratic National Convention site | South China Morning Post

Several protesters who had managed to get through the fence were detained and handcuffed by the police.

Authorities said the inner security perimeter surrounding convention site was not breached and there was no threat to those attending the convention.

Members of the crowd chanted “End the occupation now” and then “The whole world is watching!” just as anti-Vietnam war protesters did during the infamous 1968 convention in Chicago when police clashed with protesters on live television. Officers put on gas masks as some protesters tried to bring down a second fence set up in front of police.
