San Jose Police Take Law Enforcement Into Future

Crystal Carreon | San Jose Mercury News | April 25, 2004

That was all it took to spark a furious attack on the local police station, where Army officials were meeting. Before it was over, two soldiers were wounded by a grenade tossed into the compound and Army reinforcements fought their way in to rescue the injured; after they left, demonstrators ravaged the abandoned compound."
