MEDIA ADVISORY September, 4, 2008 For Immediate Release: Contingent of Lawyers, Activists, and Media Take Concerns of Police Brutality at RNC to Mayor Coleman’s Office – WHAT: Attempt to meet with Mayor Chris Coleman about escalation of police brutality in St. Paul – WHO: Lawyers, activists, and members of the media – WHEN: September 4, 2008 @ 4:00 pm – WHERE: St. Paul Mayor’s Office, 15 W. Kellogg Blvd. Police violence has not been limited to the streets. The Coldsnap Legal Collective, providing support to people arrested at the RNC, has received numerous reports of abuse in the jails. In addition to widespread denial of medical attention, multiple people have been brutalized by Sheriff’s Deputies inside their cells. At a press conference earlier today, recently released activist Elliot Hughes made statements that while in jail he had a bag placed over his head, a gag in his mouth, and was beaten to unconsciousness by multiple correctional officers.
Put a t-shirt on that Mayor and let him walk out of the building with you! lol
Oh yeah and don’t forget one of those lime green hats.
violently keeping the peace.
it makes sense.
we’ll be perfectly safe after they kill us.
I was there with Code Pink. The military force was fascist, aggressive and provoking violence. there is no excuse for the indiscriminate violence. We all ned to be proactive in addressing this. That means you!
thanks america, you let me grow up so i can live in a police state.
obviously the mainstream media won’t cover this because they don’t want mass paranoia and panic while the government deploys fascism.
land of the free home of the brave??the american dream?u gotta be asleep to believe it
Yeah, land of the sheep home of the slave. If any one of those mfking thugs lay their hands on me I will duel them sons of bitches to the death. That is a message to any Nazi-officer out there in the US and abroad.
been keeping up with subscriptions, stay safe Flux and all those in Solidarity, posted on care2dotcom news. Mad, maddening, heartbreaking, they have been allowed to go too far for too long
I’m embarrassed to be liberal right now. WTF did this guy do? Is he responsible? What’s with the badgering? You, yourselves call him ‘lackey’ so what do you expect him to say? You should be ashamed.
Form militias in your communities now!!This is serious shit people the police state has arrived.Militias are our only hope against tyranny..Buy all the guns and ammo you can now they are planning on having a ban on ammo through legislation..
Form militias now!! I’m forming one in my community and you should too!! Start gathering the masses this not a drill!!
I repeat this is not a drill the Revolution must begin now!!
When they can’t get through to the mayors office, and they have an imminent situation….?! We have a right to redress/badgering is impossible to ppl that represent you.
They are putting him on legal notice!!!!
Of course a Liberal would be embarassed… you have no Balls. There is no time left for polite chit chat. People who were peaceful and exercising there rights were brutalized. I think you might want to get out and try to exercise what’s left of your rights yourself so that you may also experience the brutalization 1st hand… then you would understand why what you are seeing is justified.
I dont know whats going on. I work for the mayor but i dont know a god damn thing.
fucking bodyguard.
protecting assholes that wont take responsibility for the shit their suppose to be protecting.

Trust me – you’ll want to hear this
WATCH IT PEOPLE – “kmkprophet” is a COP.
what?!
wtf i heard the democracy now woman …Amy Goodman i think is her name got arrested
i didn’t hear ppls houses getting raided?
wtf is going on in America?
This is pretty fucked up, and Im from Iran, and I KNOW FUCKED UP police bullshit, but beating some kid in a cell is pretty bad.
I was also wondering why he was called a “Lackey” when he was kind enough to listen to you all babble and cower behind him and he freakin’ walked you to the front door!
My hubby was out there for the RNC. Dressed in his riot gear. I’m proud of him and his fellow brothers and sisters for all the SHYTE you made them deal with.
FUCK YOU HUBBY UP THE ASS whether he likes that sort of thing or NOT. ANYONE who needs a job so bad as to brutalize their fellow citizens… as to completely ignore the RIGHTS of others… as to engage in PREEMPTIVE raids & arrests of citizens supposedly protected by our constitution (that your fuckin hubby swore to uphold) … people like that are RUINING democracy, RUINING freedom and assisting in the sprint toward fascist slavery. I hope your hubby is the 1st person sent to FEMA camp.
You worship your government. You slaves love your left-right bull shit. Obey your masters and maybe they won’t shoot you when you discover that they have stolen everything from you.
this may seem like a weak and passive interaction to many of you righty action-hero types… I guess you watch so much television you think real life should be one part Law & Order and two parts Terminator.
Get a clue… you are witnessing a Fascist Coup by BushCo. Find proof beyond a few windows and blocking of traffic that serious crimes were perpetraited… if not.
Then understand your husband/boyfriend/pimp is more a coward than any of the people he beats on.
Riot Cops are Cowards!!!
Sounds like a bunch of statements and accusations not backed up by anything but hearsay . Offer proof of wrongdoings ie… pics , a paper trail of some sorts . Also WTF was this guy doing in a house that was raided , that sounds retarded in and of itself.
You know, the guy that gave the Mayor’s talking points has a name… it’s Bob Hume, the communications guy for the Mayor. Just calling him a “lackey” doesn’t do anything to hold him accountable for parroting these talking points.
you’re right. I missed his name on tape and things were moving very quickly that week… If I had his name when I (hardly) edited it, then I would have used it and used “lackey” as his by line.
do some reaserach, it’s all true.
