Vermont Police Confront Protesters at Governors' Summit 
--------------------------------------------------------


 
Police in Burlington, Vermont, are being accused of firing rubber
bullets at activists protesting a meeting of New England governors and
eastern Canadian premiers. On Sunday, police said they took action after
a group of protesters tried to block a bus picking up conference
delegates. Video footage posted online shows police shooting at least
one protester at close range. Police confirm pellets where used, but
deny firing rubber bullets.
