Mass Detention by MPD after anti-RNC protest 9/1/08

[KontractKiller]

it's hard to respect a cop in bike shorts & a gasmask... atmosphere blasting in the background... classic mn

lol, everyone's ignoring them, at least that's how it seems from this camera angle. I wouldn't put my hands on my head unless they have a gun pointed at me at close range or they tackle me down. I wouldn't be doing anything wrong to be arrested, not saying that means I won't be. I'd be laughing, ya ok they're gonna arrest thousands.

Bennyliz How stupid you are shame on you read the constitutions idiot. Jesus! How idiot.

They broke the law to the government dictator, this is fascism pure.

[Bennyliz]

Obviously the broke some law, just because you are on a so called protest* or have many friends with you, gives you authority over the law.

[lizzyb24]

[cowboybill117]

What was with that cop trying to shoo the camera away all the time, whenever I tried taking pictures that day I got shooed also. Were these people the "trouble makers" or what? whats the back story?

I think the chant should have been: We need jobs! We need jobs! We need jobs!

[sadokjijike]

Yeah, because anyone who has free time on LABOR DAY obviously doesn't have a job.
