With the Republican National Convention wrapping up in St. Paul last week, the experience of playing host to one of the most criticized political group has left behind all kinds of taste in the minds of the people of the Twin Cities. The worst part about the police proactively rounding up innocent citizens and journalists and charging them as ‘terrorists’ under the Patriot Act (seriously, do you guys even know what terrorism means?), is the fact that the mayor and media have remained mum on the journalism crackdown. There are severe cracks developing in this pillar of democracy.

Here are a couple of pictures from a friend’s Flickr photo stream. The first picture depicts riot police prepared to take on a peaceful march about poverty and homelessness.
