and these dopes should be prosecuted for breaking the law....(oh...and forced to bathe)

Everyone that got dicked around should sue and bankrupt the RNC.

It's a different organization--this is an impromptu press conference.

The police were doing this for the entire duration of the RNC in St. Paul and Minneapolis. They hired tons of extra police officers for nearly all Twin Cities neighborhoods. I was harassed and searched illegal on the first day of the RNC. I am not an anarchist and was not even near the disturbance downtown, as I went to Harriet Island that day instead.

Right. These three guys were just doing absolutely nothing, innocently minding their own business, when police decided to single them out. Nonsense. Use common sense, people. Many thousands attend the national conventions (RNC & DNC) with cameras of all types, yet are not bothered at all by police. These guys had to do something very unusual to attract the attention of police away from that huge crowd and onto themselves.

and they paid out........um......ZERO!

How can the city do this? Well Ramsey County must have known that they were planning to abuse power-they purchased 10 million of insurance against being sued, ahead of the RNC!
