3 protesters hit with Taser at Occupy protest at state Capitol

Washington State troopers stand guard outside the House chamber gallery at the Capitol in Olympia, Wash., Monday, Nov. 28, 2011, on the first day of a special session of the Washington state legislature. Several thousand protesters were at the Capitol throughout the day and protests were largely peaceful through the afternoon. Washington lawmakers beginning a 30-day special session were met by hundreds of protesters Monday, and a committee meeting focusing on solutions to the state's budget woes was abruptly halted amid a group's shouting.
