Welcome to Minnesota: The Police State

There was a lot of news in the blogosphere yesterday about the out-of-control raids by a combination of local and federal law enforcement in Mpls-St Paul yesterday, 'cracking down' on possible protestors. WaPo has some coverage here (which is the only coverage I've seen in the MSM...) Glenn also went into overdrive yesterday covering it.

I'm not a big fan of the whole 'let's get rowdy and disrupt shit' movement, but as long as they remain peaceful and no one gets hurt, I'm all in favor of their being allowed to protest. But, in Shrub's Amerika, even thinking about disagreeing en masse in public with his Holy Writ is grounds for manhandling, verbal abuse, and false arrest. Next stop, Gitmo?

Don't we have a Constitution or something?
