Justin Johnson's almost daily web-log

marco:

This is the raw footage of the St. Paul police repeatedly tear-gassing a peaceful protest at the Republican National Convention, having given no announcements, orders, or warnings.

I have to keep reminding myself that this happened yesterday in the United States of America.

Mainstream media has not covered the RNC protests or the extreme police response.
