Ouch DLS, they belong in prison because they stand up for our rights? Yours and mine?

As for the preparations I suppose its better that the city be prepared to handle an incident as opposed to being caught with its pants down. The question will be how tolerant they will be and discerning about protest versus rioting. In some ways its almost hopeless. With so many law enforcement personnel, clad in paramilitary gear with a well videographed intolerance for people flying their freak flags its almost certain that something will break out. I am still holding out for the Denver PD to surprise us all with professionalism and acting like peace officers. Glad Dr. C is there to give us some eyewitness updates.

"The ACLU is riding in with all flags burning."

Now there is an example of people who belong in the cages or at Guantanamo.

Probably because the Republicans already reserved them for Sept?

I can be snarky too!

Word has it that the original Gitmo is some pretty nice digs. Why not ship them there? Obviously they'd be unofficial enemy combatants. What's the problem?

These do sound bad at first glance, but if there was a big riot they'd need somewhere to hold people until they are processed. If the processing of these hypothetical arrested protesters was only a few hours then the issue doesn't seem so bad as long as they had access to restrooms and 1st aid.

I would be surprised if Minneapolis was not preparing for a huge influx of arrests in September.
