Yes, what is the use of a newspaper like the Star Tribune that just repeats
the one side's press statement. I was part of a legal team that interviewed
the 14 people still in jail this morning from critical mass. The accounts
of the event were very consistent and have no resemblence to the police
account. All of the people were attacked and arrested by police either
randomly or for merely observing with concern others who were attacked by
police for no reason. At least one person arrested was a complete bystander
not even participating in the event. All are credible and have clean
records. We also have statements from over 20 witnesses corroborating that
this incident was completely an act of police aggression. I don't know if
the press will ever report the real story, but it should come out in court.
