This reads like something out of an old Gestapo or Stasi file, or even the FBI's discredited COINTELPRO! By what authority does the Minneapolis Police, or even the Federal government, have the authority to put someone on their “shit list” and stop their car at gunpoint without any suspicion of them having committed a crime, or even a traffic offense? This is obviously unconstitutional conduct on the part of rogue cops, acting under orders of a rogue government! The best response to this outrage is to contact the Lawyers' Guild or the ACLU and sue the bastards! This the best way to “protect and defend the Constitution,” as provided in the oath we all took upon enlistment! Otherwise, the U.S. will become the Fascist regime that we fought in WW-II!

I commend all the brave souls who stand up to all this pro war propaganda. Even the new VP (R) Palin was talking today about going to war with Russia. What nonsense. I am a Iraq War Vet, I currently work as a Nurse in a State Penitentiary in Missouri. I am saddened and appalled to see young war veteran entering the penal system everyday. Most have dual diagnosis of PTSD and chemical dependency. I feel we have really lost our way in this country. It seems with the Patriot Act and the current administration we focus more on our own citizens and stopping the freedom speech and other vital freedoms that we once cherished… Please forgive us.

Wow, I'm so happy that the pigs did not beat the fuck out of any of you or rendition you to some foreign country to be tortured to death. If any of you have wrist soreness from the handcuffs and rough treatment, then please go to a Chiropractor who uses a Class 4 laser device. My recent capal tunnel syndrome has been cured with it. Hey Hal, take care dude and I'll see you soon. Alan Horn, Veterans For Peace Chapter #71, Santa Rosa, CA.

Thanks for the report, video & funny picture of me. I wonder, had I not put down my cell phone when so ordered by one of the St. Paul cop's who detained us, with a loaded handgun just two feet from my head, if he would have been justified in shooting me? Unfortunately, we'll find out soon enough. If they can get away with this in St. Paul, they can get away with it any place in America. The only *real* surprise for me was the police were NOT speaking German. And, just for historical accuracy, I was also at Camp Casey with Cindy Sheehan, Lisa and many, many other brave activists, most of whom were U.S. military veterans.

Makes me wish I'd been there with them – wearing a shirt.
Would be fun to see what they would do with a disabled middled aged woman.
