beat the crowds

"We get up early, to beat the crowds," the shirt reads, followed by "2008 DNC." The words flank a grinning police officer holding a baton and wearing a hat with a crossed-out number "68," presumably making reference to activist organization Recreate 68, which staged several anti-war demonstrations during the convention.

Classy! I thought, reading the headline, it was a joke shirt made by protestors. Nope. It's a commemorative shirt made by the police so they can remember the swell time they had at the DNC, where they got to use all those cool outfits and weapons they'd been stockpiling.
