Help Canvass Dinkytown in Police Riot Aftermath

04/30/2009 21:00

In the aftermath of the police riot in Dinkytown last weekend, a dozen people were arrested, one house is being evicted, and scores more are suffering the after-effects of injuries inflicted by police.  The University is setting up a website asking students to turn snitch, and the police and corporate media are - just like after the RNC - acting as if minor property damage justifies as full-on violent police attack of our neighbors and friends.

RNC finale: Unprecedented police riot against peaceful protesters & journalists

The jail vigil needs more support. Perhaps the National Guard will finally go away?

The Right to be Here

I'm not an anarchist. At least I wasn't one of the kids running around the Xcel Energy Center in black handkerchiefs during the St Paul RNC. Nor did I store my urine in a bucket for a week to throw on delegates, and I didn't break any windows either. But, I was one of the people detained by police on Monday. One of my co-workers even saw me on the Channel 11 news, zip-tied like a hog, being led away walking backwards by two riot police. I'm assuming that he knew me well enough to reason I wasn't there with violent intent, but asked nonetheless why I went to downtown St Paul that day.
