Welcome to the Police State Minneapolis
I was just talking with Lorenzo about this last night at the gym. Apparently when the RNC comes to town you lose all your rights, as homes of protesters were raided by police in full riot gear with automatic weapons drawn. Sounds a bit much to me. The warrants used to pull the harassment off sounds like a load of shit as well, some being for "fire code violations" others for possession of molotov cocktails. Last time I checked, peaceful gatherings were guaranteed to citizens by the First Amendment of the Bill of Rights. There was even a journalist of 20 years arrested because she wanted to know what was going on. Well at least the activists haven't lost their laughter. Hopefully that day will never come.

watch as a cop gets kicked in the back and then sprays mace all over an innocent crowd. smell his justice!
Stupid scared pig.
Such a huge contrast to the whats been going on with cup community members!
Regardless, thanks for keeping us filled in on this stuff Moose. I've been out of the political radar for some time so your updates are very much appreciated!
Yeah definitely a huge contrast! Nothing like current events to show us how lucky we are.
Well if there's anything you're curious about on the political scene, ask me I might know about it. Like I said last night I think it's important to stay abreast of what's going on and I try to. It's unlikely that an RNC would ever come here to Cali, but at least we know what to expect now unless something is done to prevent this kind of shit in the future.
