Cheney protesters dress as police

The two Sydney women had been dressed as Operational Support Group police – complete with dark blue overalls and peaked caps – when they were arrested about 9.30am.
The pair were spotted in Essex St directing traffic towards a line of police formed to contain about 200 protesting US Vice-President Dick Cheney's visit. Police sources said it was the first time they had seen protesters use the dangerous tactic in Sydney – although it has been used before in Victoria.The potentially deadly tactic was aimed at forcing the police line to disperse, police sources said.
