2 connected incidents of RNC related police harassment
This past weekend, an individual's St. Paul apartment had a warranted search performed.
This individual was told investigators knew that he was an acquaintance of another individual suspected of being involved with the RNC protest. Nothing was taken besides a map of St. Paul, and he was not arrested.
This afternoon, the suspected individual's parents' house was met by 3 officers, and asked the father where the individual was, lived, and worked. There was no warrant, and the father responded that he did not know and asked them to leave.
After leaving, the father informed the individual of what had occurred.

I was berated with verbal
I was berated with verbal assaults by this specialized unit charged with the honorable duty of protecting and serving the general public. They asked what I was doing, who I am affiliated with, and also suggested that they would go to my home and kick down the door, to see what incriminating evidence might be there. Well, he’s got the one memory card in his camera,” began one of the cops. “Who knows how many he has hidden on his person. Maybe we should call Murphy down here to give him a full-cavity search.”The harassment continued, wholesale lingeriewith officers looking through my camera, phone, and bag while I sat, handcuffed on the curb. They attempted to intimidate me, but I stayed cool. I actually had to refrain from laughing when one officer started kicking my hat and stepping on it. He eventually kicked it into a storm sewer. Another put his fast food refuse in my bag, while yet another dumped my water bottle into my messenger bag.
