Massive police raids on suspected protesters in Minneapolis

Several "hippie homes" are raided this morning by semi-automatic-weapon-wielding police squads.

    Minneapolis raids

    Thanks for the reporting; I've passed links and texts along to my friends and relatives.

    I live in Seattle and my experience in 1999 with the WTO was the King County Sheriff's excitement over their bigger funding package for weapons and creating a riot as an excuse to use it all up (former Sheriff is now Bush yes man in congress). Sounds as if they've increased the funding for Minneapolis.

    Looks as if Mother Nature is on the side of protestors.

    Looking forward to Democracy Now tomorrow and to your continued reporting.
