First off I have to comment at the official statements by St.Paul police chief John Harrington. "...despite the fact that the protesters were setting fires, slashing tires, throwing rocks and feces at people during protests the people maintained order..."
Firstly, poo throwing aside for a moment (oh don't worry we'll get to it) does that sound like order to you? I guess you know what they say about a few bad apples. This man was then questioned by one of the reporters DemocracyNow!'s Amy Goodman for her arrest even though she had complete press credentials that had her INSIDE the Republican National Convention when her producers were being arrested outside. When she came out she was forcefully arrested and stripped of all her identification. This was the most watched video on YouTube yesterday. As well many of the police were not wearing any form of identification and refused to give receipts of what they took from protesters, which is illegal. It's like the bully from the other school taking your lunch money.
Okay and now to the feces throwing (oooh boy). Does this really sound like something protesters would do? Has the republican convention actually made people so angry that they felt the need to throw SHIT AT PEOPLE? It has really come to this? We have resorted back to our primate past where our only real form of protest comes in renewable quantities as long as we are getting enough fibre. You throw tear gas and flashbangs? Well... how about a flying dookie?
The shit people come up with.
