MIAMI -- Civil rights groups complained Tuesday that police at last week's trade talks abused protesters, including some senior citizens, by arresting them without cause and denying them restrooms, water and phones.
Meanwhile, the national steelworkers union called for a congressional investigation and the removal of Miami Police Chief John Timoney over the treatment of its members during the protests, and several groups said they will sue the city.
"The city of Miami police failed. The city of Miami failed," said Deborah Dion, campaign coordinator with AFL-CIO.
The protests turned sporadically violent Thursday, the final day of the talks.
