"Rumors circulating of possible police sweeps in Minneapolis this weekend
Could a roundup of anti-RNC activists be on tap for this weekend in
Minneapolis?"

How about if Minneapolis Police would do a roundup sweep of the actual
criminals in our city?  Any weekend would do, like say next week after the
Republican Convention is gone.

There is a drug house in operation directly across the street from Roosevelt
High School.  It has been in operation for several years now, without any worry
about "sweeps" from the Minneapolis Police.  And that 36-hour hold idea --
great one.  Would give the rest of us at least a day and a half of increased
safety in our homes and yards.

How is there taxpayer money to pay for all this security for the Republican
Convention (and the false arrest lawsuits afterwards), but not enough for
Minneapolis Police to protect our neighborhoods?
