what a totalitarian shame exhibited by the cities of St. Paul, Minnesota, the Ramsey County Sheriffs Department, the FBI and the forty-six other law enforcement agenices involved.

Altho this article by the WSJ totally lies about who caused the violence, it reports:

The federal government provided grants of $50 million to cover security costs at each national party convention; more than 3,500 officers from more than 50 federal, state and local agencies, including the National Guard, have been on duty in St. Paul, according to the Wall Street Journal.

I hope the reporters sue the $%it Ouf of Minneapolis Police

I can't wait to see the lawsuits come in for violation of First Amendment rights, police brutality, suppression of legitimate dissent, unjustified assault using excessive force by the police, violation of habeas corpus, false arrest, police perjury.

I hope to see news about lawsuits arising from this.
