We were walking up Sibley Street during the Republican National Convention (9-01-08 1:36pm) and managed to capture what I believe to be a Anti-War march on camera. What came next was a little shocking, but ended peacefully.

Turns out that Elliot Hughes (the protester) was tortured while being detained in Ramsey County Jail... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PWy-rCM_SQ&playnext=1&playnext_from=QL

  • Resisting arrest?

    For falling off a bike?

    to hell with that. i'm a handfull for even a couple of cops.

    and that's when they arrested me for a perfectly ligitimate reason.

    If they tried to arrest me because I fell off my bike, instead of help me get up.

    It may take 3 or 4.

  • how many American fat cops you need to catch one guy cycling?

    Never enough!

see all
