BURIED TAPE REVEALS USE OF FORCE AND AN UNWARRANTED MASS ARREST OF BYSTANDERS DURING THE REPUBLICAN NATIONAL CONVENTION. ST. PAUL, Minnesota (September 18, 2008) Video released today shows the indiscriminate arrest of a crowd of two hundred at the waterfront across from a concert on Harriet Island Regional Park during this month’s Republican National Convention in St. Paul. The video includes multiple angles of the event as well as an interview with the cameraman who buried his footage and was one of almost two hundred people arrested for rioting without probable cause. More than eight hundred people were arrested in St. Paul during the Republican National Convention. This video shows that at least twenty percent of the eight hundred plus arrested were seized without due cause. Entire families, including parents and children. Not to mention with the help of the national guard which is in direct violation of Posse Comitatus Act. The statute generally prohibits federal military personnel and units of the United States National Guard under federal authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within the United States, except where expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress. The Coast Guard is exempt from the Posse Comitatus Act.
what the hell are you talking about?
did you become so stupid that you cant even understand your native language? how hard is it to understand that american whities are spineless piece of dumbed down garbage that are too afraid to stand up to tyranny. Your own corporations are screwing you in the ass yet you fools are saying “buy american” LOL damn whities are clueless LOL
Quit assuming things retard. What do you think, I love America? I’m racist? So you’re much better if you make accusations and hate people for no better reason than where they come from or their race? *sigh*

The only reason this country is uneducated and “dumb” is because of offspring like you. You are the reason they succeed –
They dont care baout this arrest they are only gearing up like Darth Vadors for the martial law they are going to disarm every single american ! ole Barky has bene rerwrighting the Constituion for years and he cant wait to turn the country into a socialist melting pot of rich corporate leaders living off the things we built (as they never worked one day) they are going to enjoy the wealth we created while you and i sit in FEMA concentration camps the 600 just opened by obama admin.
Speaking of dumb, you used the wrong form of your. You should have said, “That’s why YOU’RE so dumb.” … ass
And the “dumb people” keep climbing out of the woodwork.

nothing started it, haven’t you seen the doc? All the was doing was standing in front of Buses headed to the convention. It was a Political Statement. But that was after they was told to sit in Free Speech Zones and was Sprayed and Falsely Brutalized and arrested. The People started Rioting Then! This is the Change you voted for America, I’ll have this to look forward too outside my House in a year. That and Swine Flu Vaccination Buses.
National Guard helping the police with law enforcement? Isnt that illegal? I swear I read that somewhere…..
This is what happens when you threaten innocent citizens with full riot gear, batons, and violence if they do not comply. You get a nation of sheep who bend over when told to out of fear. We need to fight back against this atrocious violation of our constitution and bill of rights.
Freedom is not free. What about the following dates: 1776, 1812, 1865, 1918, 1945. These are dates in American history where Americans stood up to the plate. During these trying times sometimes Democrats were in power sometimes Republicans. Before you blame any one political party know what you are talking about. You have the right to protest beacuse you live in FREE country. In countries like Chinia, Iran, Cuba, North Korea you are either killed on the spot or tortured and wish you were dead.
we should just kill the cops if they get in our face then.
We need John Connor to lead the Civilian Resistance group against these pieces of rectal trash.
@theswamprat1776 ya its called posse comitatus, bush got rid of it a few years back.
@polidic cute.
