more at www.theuptake.org A trio of journalists who have a track record of documenting police abuse at political conventions were stopped and searched during the early morning hours in Minneapolis. Police took their video equipment, cell phones, hard drive and notes about protests planned for next week’s Republican National Convention. No charges have been filed against the three, according to Mineapolis police spokesman Sgt. William Palmer.
It’s a different organization–this is an impromptu press conference.
Everyone that got dicked around should sue and bankrupt the RNC.
and these dopes should be prosecuted for breaking the law….
(oh…and forced to bathe)
That intimidation and harassment sure worked out for the RNC didn’t it!
hopefully next year ppl will be so pissed itll turn into rome!!! and well fuck the fuck outta them days on end, til eventually they buckle.
viva la america!!
Gather some thousand protesters and go to the police headquarters and demand the officers prosecuted, ask who ordered them out, go to the city and the mayor and protest, gather and protest outside the governor and the state capital legislative body!
“We take two images and mix them together to make a new reality… But we are also journalists at the same time.”
So you lie when you can get away with it, and then call yourself journalists when it’s convient?
you are such a fuck. I was arrested in Minneapolis on september 3rd after the rage against the machine concert and I will swear on my life that there was no misconduct when we got arrested it was on the corner of 1st Ave and 4th St. along with 101 other people. The police are cocks they have no direction and should be persecuted for being so fucking retarded
You are a terrible excuse for an American! The police do NOT own us. They WORK for us. Get it straight. They don’t actually have any right to beat you or rape you or steal from you! There’s a thing called the constitution which keeps the police from having that kind of power! Do your fuckin’ homework for once!
There are rules and then there is reality.Reality is the Police can do anything to you if 1’You are not a police officer 2.not related to a police officer 3 not member of the bar or related to a member of the bar.Thats reality sorry if someone stating reality offends you.The police in the USA have the power of life and death over the average person they are the newist overseerers in the great plantation called america.Get used to it, will only get worse so if a cop wants sex you or spouse submit
your so called constitution is being torn apart brycelarson2, so i advise you do your homework m8!
i wish i could argue the points made below, however i cannot….some of us still abide by that and we will kill for it.
They’re not journalists. They’re artists who are playing journalists for this “documentary”. The guy said it himself at the begining of the video and towards the end. He’s not a registered journalist. He’s a guy with a camera who pushed his way around where he didn’t belong. Hell, according to these people you or I could stick cameras around our necks and play “I can go wherever I want”. Sorry, it doesn’t work that way. Good to see other people who actually see the real reality.
whats wrong with spraying people with mace it’s not that bad. just feels like sand in your eyes
really hot sand with a hint of nearly pure capsaicin
i dont think i spelled that correctly lol
the constitution whats that. Maybe you could break it down for me a bit. You see i wasn’t born in america. America and the idea of freedom died ALONG TIME AGO like 1907.. i was born in the USA after free america died when the fbi starteed training the our local police.
federal law section 42?, says journalists equipment cannot be seized without a sepina!
What you going to slaughter yourself?
brycelarson2 > laws have been passed in congress against the constitution, (unconstitutionally)… people can be held without a fast and speedy trial and are (guantanamo), wire tapping and search and seizures are legal without a judge issuing a warrent, and there’s more.
Better police for a better police state…..
This reporter should have told the police this.The police are the biggest risk takers cause history says, men like Stalin Mao Hitler Castro all killed 30 to 40% of their force from the get go. Imprisioned another 30 to 40% Leaving the rest with a job for a short while then fired. Reason being they are the ones trained in the use of guns. May be a thret to the ones in power. Police are told what to do and they do it no questions asked. Not all cops are bad. They should be made aware of the facts.
I was under the impression that the American people no longer have any rights, and that any of the constitutions that were put in place to protect their rights have been cancelled by the American authorities? or is this just the future?
The future?
The constitution only lasted like twenty years before it got raped by John Adams with the Alien and Sedition acts in 1798.
The whole system of the state is a farce.
You’re not a main stream journalist, and you were embedded in the rioters you idiot.
so much for freedom
