St. Paul. Does the Constitution allow us to obtain the names of every police, sheriff deputy,

[peacetalksforall]

national guard person who was involved in a physical detention or arrest since last Friday?

Does the Constitution allow us to find out what orders and training these people received?

Does the Consitution allow us to find out if anyone in the Republican Party gave orders, paid, or requested a plan to intimidate in a physical manner, to record their legal identification for their databases, to keep them off flights, to create records that can be blown out of proportion for future lock down?

Does the Constitution allow us to find out if there are any extra forces acting as part of the police-deputies such as current or former military, intelligence employess, Nlackwater, other paid mercenaries, political fitness roughnecks? Were the police-deputy forces enhanced or guided?

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?

IS THIS A GIFT FROM THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO THE TWIN CITIES OF MINNEAPOLIS / ST. PAUL, their subrubs and the State?

What a crummy, crappy, sxxxxxy thing to do to the people.

THIS WAS PLANNED FOR A LONG TIME. IT IS TRANSPARENT.

SHAME ON PAWLENTY. SHAME ON EVERYONE WHO WENT ALONG WITH THIS INCLUDING THE MAYORS - ALL OF THEM.

Back to the question - what are our rights?

1. if they're public employees, their info is public.

unless by some chicanery they're completely off the books. which is not likely, despite the circumstances.
each city that sent cops must account for them or they won't get paid.
(their pay now is voluntary overtime; the department of Homeland Security is paying for a big chunk of it along with money allocated by Congress.

they will likely refuse to give up names as a security matter. you might even have to file a freedom of information act request (or if no movement, a lawsuit.)

but that info's public. you sup at the public trough, your info is public.

2. Amy Goodwin was on with Thom Hartman today, and she was saying

that the police can hold them for 36 hours before charging them. The 36 hours are 36 "business" hours, so if they arrested all those people on Friday, they could technically hold them unil Thursday because of the weekend and the holiday. Well planned indeed.

3. I think I'll change one word - instead of planned, I should say PLOTTED.

They would be remiss if they didn't plan, buy they went BEYOND planning.

This was a plot.

Again, a small per cent of the plotters are making Minnesota look really bad.....

... and as a database of future no-flyers get entered into the Poindexter-Cheney database and the victims are left to mend physcially and psychologically.

Then there were the young kids that were in the house that was attacked by cops with guns and every imaginable kind of weapon.

What is happening to this country.

I am ashamed of Pawlenty and his goons and all his Republican kind.

It will be obvious to the entire country that a sick band of archivists went out of their way to mess things up - but the plot against peaceful protesters and the media is SICKER.

4. I think you might have meant "anarchists",

but I'm not sure. Don't take me wrong, ok? Peace.

5. yes, anarchists ... thanks
