Does anyone now doubt the US is a police state?

August 31, 2008 By: DancingSamurai Category: Links

No further comment other than this BoingBoing Link: Report: Massive, warrantless raids on peace protesters in Minneapolis, ahead of RNC.

In the house that had just been raided, those inside described how a team of roughly 25 officers had barged into their homes with masks and black swat gear, holding large semi-automatic rifles, and ordered them to lie on the floor, where they were handcuffed and ordered not to move. The officers refused to state why they were there and, until the very end, refused to show whether they had a search warrant. They were forced to remain on the floor for 45 minutes while the officers took away the laptops, computers, individual journals, and political materials kept in the house.
