Syrian protests and arrests
The controversy over possible United States military action in Syria took to the streets. Approximately, 75 protestors marched in the late evening through downtown Tempe, Arizona. Three people were arrested. Two for police interference and one for an outstanding warrant. Demonstrators taunted police after each arrest. Earlier a couple of participants were yelling "F... the press". It could have turned real ugly but didn't. (August 31, 2013, both photographs copyrighted by Jerry Burch)
