I'm hearing disturbing things out of the Twin Cities. Journalists being detained, kids being arrested for no reason but being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and unjustified raids on peaceful (lawful) protest groups.

My friend in the area posts that the good things from law enforcement (like stopping the attempted riot by 300 of the 2000 protestors) is outnumbered by the bad things. Like detaining 17 year olds for hours and not allowing them to make a phone call. I don't think it's degenerated to actual brutality yet, and I hope it doesn't. But it is looking pretty bad.
