Despite heavy security, at least one activist got within a meter of the pack of Rollerblading police officers crowding around the torchbearer."

not nearly as awesome as i pictured it from the quote:

[ i was watching the world news on CNN international last night and i saw this! when the anchor was speaking i was inappropriately amused by the idea of rollerblading police officers, i have to admit! ]

i am amused by the idea that maybe they recruited leagues of rollerblading jerks (are there any non-jerk rollerbladers?) and then turned them into "police" for this event, or by the idea that they took a bunch of cops and sent them to the roller rink for a couple weekends to practice.

it would have been better if they were like a mean street gang of rollerbladers, because when they say "pack" that's what they call the group of players in roller derby, it totally fits! french derby girls! ah well.
