[Vision2020] Police arrest 16 as protesters delay tar-sands megaload near John Day

[Dave]

No, usually it is the use of pressure points. Police have also been

Some lock-downs are structured so that even if the protester wants to, 
they physically can't unlock. Apparently they didn't go to that extreme.
