I just looked on google news and nothing on these raids. This won't get much attention unless people make sure people know about it. Forward the story to all your friends, so they know about the assaults on our freedoms. If you silence one of us, you silence us all.
Living in CO, I was extremely angry at the way the local media reported on the police presence at the DNC. No one mentioned that the police were breaking the law by not being identifiable. I only know about it because it was reported on Democracy Now. They had no name badges, and definetly acted like they knew they wouldn't be held accountable. Not only did the media practically fawn over the massive police presence, they actively cheered it. The Rocky Mountain News ran an article how on "reassuring the heavy police presence was". Yes nothing better then a police state. I feel so much safer now. I don't think it's a coincidence that the protests were much smaller then expected. That was definetly the goal, to scare people away from protesting. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.
