all we can do is play our part abide by the laws even though they might seem outragous. times to protest are times to protest and times to play it cool is times to play it cool. look how the u.n. is allowing the hatian national police to mow protestors down in the street. they already developed the denial weaponary for protestors, when our goverment turns corrupt then thats when we become corrupt because we are all americans. i will defend my country till the breath is gone from my longs from foriegn or domestic. i strongly believe there is still some good in our country but freedom must be restored in blood and faught for sometimes and there is no way to avoid it. the world looks at us as fat, dumb, and lazy but there are really mistaken. we will not fold we will not lay down and die we will not surrender because our liberties are drenched in blood to protect. its not about black and white its about the haves and the have nots and the goverment can depopulate people but they will have a hard time doing it.

Par for the course, apparently...

The police can't be trusted any more, since they don't act honorably. Whom else are we to trust?

Seems like your typical Political Repression to me. . Considering some of bush''s previous repressive laws, I'm surprised he hasn't had them moved COMPLETELY out of sight of the politicians instead of just 740 feet away.

The main reporters for Democracy Now, journalism veterans (not kids) were arrested while covering the convention outside, also for “conspiracy to riot.” Because freedom of the press only only applies to press approved by the government, obviously.

Forgive my ignorance. If the city creates the code violations, through it's own police force, does the city not have to fix the code violations?

I've been listening to and reading stories such as these for most my life. I grew up in a house where we were not to speak louder than a whisper about the government or else they could come and take everything away. And yes my grandparents were born and raised in this country. During WWII my grandfather was in the service and my grandmother worked for the government. Truth is you can pretty much stay under the radar and do what you want so long as you don't obstruct the government or expose its corruption for what it is. And for things like this happen sporadicly and in small numbers to where the majority of the nation will either not get involved or quickly forget and continue in their daily routines of complacency. As for the crack house unless if it was selling crack and bringing in a lot of money the authorities would care less because its what they can confiscate in a seize that matters most. And as for the protesters or anyone else for that matter, if they find a bottle of jack in your liqueur cabinet and a face cloth in your bathroom or even various cleaning solvents under your sink your automatically a terrorist plotting an attack.

Isn't it wonderful to live in a country where we each have individual rights????? And these RIGHTS cannot be violated nor taken from us without “DUE PROCESS”!!!!!

I wonder what political party these officials are in! Oh! Maybe I can guess after all!

What is happening in Minneapolis is eerily similar to some of the tactics the Chinese government used when “cleaning up” Beijing for the Olympic games. That is happened there was not surprising. That it is happening here is not just surprising, it is embarrassing and flies in the face of everything this country stands for.

Great Comment by A Blenio. I agree completely. Just Because it is written, at this point in this country's tilt toward erosion of civil rights, we can not expect the government to uphold them-just look at recent supreme court desions.
Please remember Fletcher's position as sheriff is an elected position and it would be wise to remember this whenever he runs again so that he can be opposed by someone who actually believes in the constitution.
