  Raid on the 4th Amendment, 1st, etc.

  Unfortunately, I am not at all surprised by the behavior of the thugs in "control" of policing MSP with terrorism and fear as a lead up to the RNC convention.

  Like others have posted, illegal police activity is nothing new of course and it is always shocking when one experiences it firsthand. (I have had police kick down my door with no warrant in the '80's for no reason except that I had a neighbor who called them complaining about my music volume - even though I did not even own a stereo. I have been beat up by police in my front yard for no reason other than someone yelling as the cops drove by that I was a fag and my friends were too in a very southern town where this was not tolerated).

  However, to witness stories of military swat teams terrorizing your average anti war college crowd to avoid a potentially minor embarrassing demonstration that none of the msm would ever cover anyways is absolutely ludicrous. What is even more outlandish are the attempts to justify this Gestapo like behavior that is certain to follow from the msm, RNC, and the MSP police department, etc. In case no one noticed, all of these people could have been easily killed! Next time this type of thing happens the victims may not be so “lucky”.

  Glen, thanks for the great reporting and keep up the great work. The biggest weapon the police state has is the darkness that they operate in. Every ray of light that shines on them will truly make them weaker. It is a constant battle, that seems unwinnable at times, but I am positive that they will crumble under their own weight of darkness.

  This MSP raid is more evidence of the ever deepening battle for the survival of a free and just society. I am afraid that the FISA bill on top of nearly 8 years of lawlessness has only emboldened these fascist thugs and I am ashamed of all Republicans and Democrats who voted for this fascist law. Don't underestimate how damaging this new law is; as I assume it is already providing real cover for the USA fascists in power and for those seeking it.

  To all of the patriots here, keep shining the light where it is darkest. Bravo, you are all doing a great job!
