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.
