Police state in Minnesota"Activists" piss in the nest and expect
citizens to live with the consequences
This was one of those stories that I really am
not plugged into as well as I would like to be.
Thanks to some of my Pagan connections, I was going to write about the encroaching police state at both the Democrat Convention (here and here) and the Republican Convention (here and here). But there is something rotten going on in St. Paul and Minneapolis, and it's not all the cops. Actually several somethings. Blast. Regardless of if it was justified, this is the kind of thing that makes an ever growing police state look good to many people. That means that those same people are going to overlook reports of police brutality if they believe that the police can keep them safe. No matter how bad, threatening or just plain silly (with picture no less) the reports are. (Hat tip the Agitator for all the links in this line). There's a time and a place for violent resistance and revolution. A political convention isn't it. ESPECIALLY WHEN IT JUSTIFIES INCREASING THE POLICE STATE.
