RNC Eve: Police Confiscate Urine, Feces, Paint, Old Tires

More at http://www.theuptake.org.

Urine, Feces, Paint, and old tires. Those are some of the things police confiscated on Saturday August 30th when they raided the Minneapolis Monica lived in. She had told her father, Dave Bicking that the evening before police vehicles with blacked out windows had been driving by slowly and taking pictures. She had considered this police intimidation since she is an organizer for the RNC Welcoming Committee, but did not think she was in danger of arrest.

Monica was arrested and may be held through Wednesday at noon because of the Labor Day holiday.

Interview took place on 8/30/08 in Powderhorn Park during a gathering of activists. Questions asked by G.R. Anderson, Jr of MinnPost.com. Video by Chuck Tomlinson

It's amazing, reading the comments, just how divided we are. 3swelldogs3 thinks it's OK to raid someones home on suspicion alone. Coach2ma thinks this guy hates America.

Don't they realize that they, the card-carrying supporters of the Fourth Reich, are next on the list for oppression? Nah, they don't. For this reason, if this alone, our freedom, our country, is near death. Maybe they think they are immune if they go along for the ride. That's what the German Jews thought, too.

[maskedphrogg]

no funkfo, urine, feces, etc all were listed on the Search Warrant. A laundry list of any item with even a remote chance of being used as a projectile or incendiary device.

do try to pay attention.

Your country is being squandered and sold off to foreign interests for a price.

These pre-emptive strikes are a defense against well spoken dissent during the Convention.

One needn't infringe everyone's free speech.

Just a few examples and you scare most well meaning law-abiding people too.

[GloucesterTwpPolice]

[GloucesterTwpPolice]

if you think they were hippies you've already demonstrated that you don't really this situation.

i was an 0341, but later went into the billet of 8152 back in the mid-nineties.

[jokerdan78]

i looked into this.... they were guilty... stupid hippies need to shut up and that the goverment that they are kept nice and safe.. OR they could just shut up.. works for me either way.

USA ALL THE WAY!! USMC Till I DIE

[cygnetomega]

They shouldn't discriminate against the 'vagrant subculture' scene. Diversity and all that y'know . . .

[hint0122]

yep. why have it if you are not going to throw it or mix it with something?

[normdoty]

even more so when you are going to mix them in other compounds, all of those listed items when properly used can be used in the making of explosives of one type or another.

[spinningstarr]

hate to tell you this but the police become GOD on Jan 20 they will be able to do what ever they want to whoever they want whenever they want so get used to it and learn to be humble and submissive if your going to sta in USA
