I mean, specifically, that the cops have gone apeshit and unlawfully arrested three Democracy Now! journalists. That they pepper-sprayed a woman who was standing in front of them holding a flower.
And this, after two days of raiding homes and several days of detaining and harassing photojournalists.
No, I do not condone the behavior of those who purportedly attacked delegates, slashed tires, set a fire, and basically did teenage bullshit acts of defiance rather than civil disobedience. But the police behavior still is not ok.
America, I hope you're hearing about this.

First I'm hearing about it. Will pass a link on to my friend in MN.
