Police conducted a raids in Minneapolis/St.Paul where the Republican National Convention is to take place starting September 1st. Police in riot gear, with semi-automatic weapons drawn, raided the homes of those suspected of planning protests during the RNC.
Here is video from CNN of the police’s version of events:
Were the police exaggerating what they thought protesters were going to do and just making stuff up?
From Crooks and Liars:
Protesters here in Minneapolis have been targeted by a series of highly intimidating, sweeping police raids across the city, involving teams of 25-30 officers in riot gear, with semi-automatic weapons drawn, entering homes of those suspected of planning protests, handcuffing and forcing them to lay on the floor, while law enforcement officers searched the homes, seizing computers, journals, and political pamphlets. Last night, members of the St. Paul police department and the Ramsey County sheriff’s department handcuffed, photographed and detained dozens of people meeting at a public venue to plan a demonstration, charging them with no crime other than “fire code violations…”
It was quite similar at the Democratic National Convention for protesters.
