Should Outraged Americans Boycott Minneapolis and St Paul until They Drop Charges
This is a critical moment in American history. If the officials who mounted an illegal, brutal assault on and repression of journalists, legal observers and innocent civilians during the Republican National Convention get away with this, then a terrible paradigm will have created to continue this Fascistic-style repression throughout the country in the future, the "Iraqization of the American Media", where unless you are embedded and under their thumb, you are an enemy of the State. Elected officials in Minneapolis and St Paul, as well as their police departments and sheriff's departments, must be held accountable.
Consequently, I propose that Americans boycott the Twin Cities until they clean up their act, denounce what happened to the innocent, and punish those responsible for these outrages. The RNC, which purportedly has taken out an insurance policy to reimburse the Twin Cities police for $10,000,000 worth of lawsuits against them, should also be investigated for collusion and conspiracy to abuse and strip away the Constitutional Rights of the American people during the RNC.
