Mayor Coleman, Mayor RT Ryback in Minneapolis and the entire "progressive" members of the St Paul and Minneapolis City Councils ALL gave the police the ability to do this.
However, those who know this were kept out of this.
This event is just as scripted, with no dissenting voices allowed, as a George Bush Rally.
Coleman, RT Ryback and the other elected officials are guilty, complicit collaborators in the police brutality.

We can beat you with less-lethal St. Paul weapons

Republicans - beyond hypocrisy, beneath contempt.

He speaks like a robot.. But yeah it was like the 1960's again it was disrespectful of the cops

I too, believe the bible thumping, right wing conversatives spit in the face of God and St. Paul himself, by orchestrating such a HATEFUL RNC. My stepfather has always spoken so highly of St Paul Minnesota... he died in May 2008 and I'm certain he shed a tear with you and me when the RNC ripped the veil off of their party in your city. I feel your pain.

You wait for someone to notice that the anarchists are, for some reason, wearing St. Paul Police riot-gear boots.
That's what it took at G8.

this guy is justifying it all by saying "well there were some troublemakers" but there are videos on YT of people who were attacked and teargassed without provocation, or at least without enough to justify full on violent suppressive action. Plus, they arrested people and groups coming to the city to protest or organize, before anything even happened.
So this guy can say "we were responding to violence" but that's crap. Government was on the offensive before the convention even started.

People were angry. Gee I wonder why?

Do be too quick to brush that off, when I marched in Denver I certainly felt that under cover presence, and its not all that hard to believe. Cops do it everyday in undercover cars and uniforms, why not during protest. Also how would you prove such an experience when they are holding all the cards?

Preventative strike is the Bush doctrine.
Preventing terror by creating it.
The SWAT teams and Riot Police were out from Day 1 and earlier. This is a load of crap!

It's never the police or elected officials. It's always mysterious 'anarchists', but it seems to be peaceful protesters and reporters/journalists who get arrested and beaten. Curious!
