    That's why they want "tort-reform"

    had_enough says:

    I hope those kids sue the shit out of the police, and the state, and collect some nice money, and a few people lose their jobs. That'd help.

    That's why our wonderful establishment wants "tort-reform": to take away the last vestiges of recourse a citizen still has.

    This is a blatant misuse of publicly funded law-enforcement to squash political dissent. Americans of all political persuasions must protest this. And the good people of Minnesota need to hold their "public servants" accountable.
