I thought about submitting it, but I thought it wasn't terribly entertaining. I thought the tanks were just moving by. How can you crush a small peace rally with a tank?

Nah, tanks are camera hogs. There's a basic rule in acting, never work with children, animals or large military equipment, they always want to steal the show.

Re: Tanks at LA Protest

Just wanted to mention that those aren't "tanks", technically. They're LAV-25 light armoured vehicles, built by General Motors of Canada. The turreted M242 chain gun is the giveaway.
