[Imc-cleveland] Police Brutality Incident

[Kris Harsh]

thanks for this story, it's very important to get these things out as soon
as possible so people can respond while the event is still fresh.  to that
end, next time time you can (and should) post directly to the web site.  (
www.cleveland.indymedia.org).  the "publish" button is in the top right
corner of the front page.

what you wrote in this email is perfectly fine, it would take no more time
to post directly to the website than it took to send the email.

again, thank you, and i hope you continue to post news from around the city
and area.

kris,
cleveland imc collective
