Citizens being randomly nabbed off the streets by Police in St Paul

At 4:00 with music playing at the rally at the Capitol a team of one to two dozen bike-mounted police officers swept in from clear across the capitol lawn directly up to two young people, a man and a woman, who were lounging in the grass, formed a circle around them and arrested them. According to Sgt. John Lazoya of the St. Paul Police Department, the young man was a suspect in the shattering of the Macy’s store window. Lazoya said police officers had been given information with details about the young man on fliers before the concert. When they circled the suspects, the growd gathered to hear the music surrounded the officers chanting “Let them go” and, as the pair were taken away in plastic handcuffs, “This is what a police state looks like.”

At 4:52, Lazoya approached in a vehicle with a PA system, announcing, “Your parade permit will expire at 5 pm… If you continue with your parade, you will be in violation of city ordinance CH366A.” As he pulled away, people were heard yelling, “They can’t hear you.”

Immediately the march began filing out as riot police took positions along the edge of the capitol building. The crowd chants, “What do we want? Troops out. When do we want it? Now!”

At 4:57, police are running to new positions as the march appears to be taking an unsanctioned route — directly down the capitol lawn. Police in riot gear are at the ready.

    Our soldiers are in other parts of the world killing at will, we hire professional armies to do killing in the name of America and now the police turn into a army taking people off the street right here in America. I'll quote an old song again " There's a monster on the loose, he's got our head into a noose, and he just sits there watching. America where are you now, we need you now, don't you care about your sons and dsughters?" America is a great country but leader is a very evil man leading America on a very evil and ugly path that must be reversed or America will implode ssoner than anyone may think. Wake up America and do whatever you can to put and end to this nightmare. March, protest, speak up, email, write to congress, write to the news media do whatever is in your power as an individual vote for the Obama- Biden ticket. Democracy is a participation sport, take action any way you can. This evil madness must be stopped.

    You can't tell 12 from 24. The very first line is some great reporting.

    I hope you don't honestly think one man is responsible for our wayward shift to the right. Go back about 25 years or so and you'll see that the groteusqly wealthy in this country started waging war on the poor and middle class in the mid 80's.

    TO THE STREETS!!!

    i highly doubt people are randomly being arrested. with all the crime going on due to the protestors you would think the police would have better things to do than randomly take people away

    well lets see why is there no mention of the protesters that were destraoying property. Oh let me guess it does not fit in your agenda. I want you to go to China and try to protest and then tell me the United States is a police state. Why dont you drink more of your liberal kool-aid and stop only telling the stories you want to

    The crux of the matter is this that when you get a large enough group together, there are bound to be individuals whom exhibit "good" and "bad" behavior.

    Nothing like this is black or white; there may have been some sadistic, power-driven police officers, but there probably were a few non-peaceful protestors who served as instigators.

    I'm telling you now we need to start using the polices methods against them. Show up to these events in the same riot gear that the police use and ya maybe start getting some pepper spray paintball rounds and nonlethal rounds in the hands of the protesters. See how enthusiastic they are then to charge the protest. I know they would just use real bullets, but I imagine that would be hard to excuse as necessary force......and maybe even wake up more people to the reality of this police state we live in. Right now all we are getting is our asses handed to us by the police. Maybe its time to meet their force with a more equal force. Mind you I am not advocating preemptive violence only defensive ....... for now.

    Bruceable- I am not uninformed here I live in St. Paul. I was there watching the protests and guess what i wasn't attacked by the police. Hmmmmmm wonder why? Maybe i was acting like a law abidding citizen! I understand that you have your right to your opinion but i bet that you were not there so your opinion is uninformed. Biased by the liberal media that only shows you what they want you to believe. So when you say that i am uniformed I guess it is you saying that i dont listen to your liberal dribble about how you are mistreated in the United States.

    So it is your right to destroy others property? I think you are the serf. So who would let a dictator take over other countries and kill their own people. Oh let me guess. It would be the same people telling us that defeat is the only thing we have now? Well i guess you want our goverment to pay for you to live right. If that is what you want go live in a socialist society. Ask canadians when you see them in american hospitals how much they like socilized medicine. well how about a little closer to home. vermont has it and all the people are complaining that it costs to much. Well i guess that you will always want something for nothing

    Well bruce I guess you should read the story then or are you to much of a dolt to do that i guess so. That is what i am talking about. You said they were being arrested for nothing no evidence. Well maybe you should watch videos of the people callin there selves the rnc welcoming commite. There was violence but i am sure that you do not agree with this. They were made to throw trash in the streets break windows. You knolw what is funny is that you will only see. while you are calling me a facist who studied facisim in college.

    Keyster1976 I will personally beat the Keyster of you or any other sheeple I ever come across. And Bruceabeal you are completely correct when you point out that it is people like Keyster who allowed "those damn trouble makers(Gypsys, Jews, the disabled, anyone who looks different) to be taken to the work camps so they can start contributing something to society!" Don't ever let that shit slip from your mouth in front of me or any freedom loving American or you will find it shoved back in with a fist attached. So feel free to keep writing your crap anonymously you little chicken shit. Cause you know damn good and well what will happen if you said this BS in the real world.
