Description

Rage Against The Machine performed a free concert in protest of America’s two-party political system on August 14, 2000 – the opening night of the Democratic National Convention. They performed across from the Staples Center, where recently-impeached-but-then-acquitted-and-still-serving-President Bill Clinton was speaking. The concert was originally planned by MTV as a part of their “Choose or Lose” 2000 election participation campaign to promote youth voting. However, given Rage’s reputation – including an incident a few months prior while filming the video for “Sleep Now in the Fire” with Michael Moore that caused the New York Stock Exchange to close, a controversial burning of the American flag during their high-profile set at Woodstock ’99 and the general aura surrounding their latest album The Battle of Los Angeles, released less than a year before – the city of Los Angeles rejected MTV’s applications. So Rage arranged to instead perform as part of a previously organized protest on an open demonstration site that a federal judge decided did not require a permit, taking the prime spot of the convention’s first night protest. The city responded with “saturation policing,” allegedly dispatching 2000 officers in riot gear, along with horses, motorbikes, squad cars and helicopters with a 12-foot fence built around the protest area. After the concert a gathering of “an estimated four thousand” protesters was declared an unlawful assembly by the police and forcibly dispersed with paintgun pellets, water from a high-pressure hose, pepper spray and rubber bullets, Scoop Media reported
