OCEAN CITY, Md. (WJZ) — Several police officers in Ocean City, Maryland, suffered minor injuries after being hit by flying rocks and bottles while trying to break up a large crowd Saturday evening, police said.
Ocean City Police said a crowd of around 200 people had gathered in the area of 13th Street and Baltimore Avenue as part of the H2Oi car show and were being disorderly.
When officers from multiple departments showed up to break up the crowd, police said several people threw rocks and bottles at them.
An unspecified number of officers were hit, but none were seriously hurt or needed medical attention, an Ocean City Police Department spokesperson said.
No arrests or citations were made in the incident, police said, though a number of citations have been given out over the weekend due to the unsanctioned event, mainly for disorderly conduct and city ordinance violations.

I believe there's somewhere in the constitution the "right of assembly." Matter of fact, I know it. It is a foundation of Democracy. Nothing democratic about that police state of OC MD.
