Rumors of a Police state

In summer 2004, citizens who peacefully protested during the Republican National Convention in New York City were subject to mass arrest, lengthy detention under horrible conditions and a wide range of other civil liberties violations. Civil liberties exist, much of the time, to protect minority rights, and that's important.

Think about what you are trying to say, please. If I wear a shirt with the entire constitution printed on it and blow up a children's hospital,
