So this morning on NPR the protests in Thailand got more coverage than the protests of the RNC in the Twin Cities.
I'm frustrated, angry, disappointed, etc.
YouTube has videos of Amy Goodman's arrest, a non-violent protester getting deliberately pepper sprayed in the face as she stood merely watching police walk by, and the "pre-emptive" raids on houses in St. Paul (based on the suspicion that the occupants are dangerous protesters).
The RNC has turned my hometown into a police state. Before this they had already made it a Potemkin village. For more on how the empty St. Paul storefronts were filled just for the convention, check out this link to Minnesota Public Radio.
Why yes, Emperor, your new clothes surely are STUNNING!

I share your infuriation. There's a petition that might do some good, or at least allow one to feel not completely bloody useless:
