A trio of journalists who have a track record of documenting police abuse at political conventions were stopped and searched during the early morning hours in Minneapolis. Police took their video equipment, cell phones, hard drive and notes about protests planned for next week's Republican National Convention.


No charges have been filed against the three, according to Mineapolis police spokesman Sgt. William Palmer.

@Hoodyrulez Lies and exaggeration are covered under free speach my friend. Free speach is not a pumpkin you wanna start carving. Your government is already doing an excellent jobo of that. They really don't need anymore help.

@dchosen1huerta

wouldn't it be great if they ran together?... it be like the new Martin & Lewis... the new Abbot and Costello, .... the new Biden & Odumba!... and if they brought along Kucinich's Ventriloquist dummy (yes, they actually make one smaller than Kucinich) and his wife, they could have a magic and strip show to boot!

LOL

@kingarthurup I know what you're trying to get at its still Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich

The wonders of atheism, in humans, is homogeneous to the thrill of mental retardation. I heard that water-boarding isn't torture either, no more than forcing bamboo shoots under a prisoner's fingernails. Soon we'll be questioned during breakfast by “home-land security.” A checkpoint 50 miles from the U.S./ Mexican border could be called CHECKPOINT FREEDOM... maybe not. [Norman Mailer was right in his lamentation that fascism is what most people aspire to.]

@kingarthurup Sorry Charlie, wrong again. Only ignorant, uneducated people voted for Obama-nation in America. The only people worthy of getting my vote is Ron Paul or Dennis Kucinich.
