Survivors of RNC Violence Speak Out
At a press conference Thursday at the State Capitol, a diverse group of concerned citizens expressed outrage at the efforts of St. Paul Police Chief John Harrington and Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher to portray violence at the Republican National Convention as protester-led. Videos and photographs revealed at the Capitol were just some of numerous sources showing that the overwhelming majority of confrontations were a direct result of police over-reach and brutality.

What's the problem here?
I'm struggling to see any problem here. This shows the aftermath of some sort of struggle but gives absolutely no evidence one way or the other as to why these things happened. Perhaps these people in the photos were, "Gasp!" Commiting destructive crimes and needed to be stopped because they are too stupid to listen! Oh that can't be. SO PATHETIC! Give us something worth looking at!

IF they were being annoying
IF they were being annoying protestors, they deserve what they got. If they were _really_ just an innocent bystander and copped a flogging, well that is a whole different story.
