Janet Nye: "A little known fact about the upcoming RNC is that the police will
be indemnified by the Republican National Committee. I know it applies to St
Paul and Mpls police and am almost sure it applies to the police coming in from
other places. Lawsuits against the police will be paid for by the Republican
Party. This is an ugly statement about the Republican Party's attitude toward
free speech. And I wouldn't be surprised if the situation is the same in
Colorado at the DNC. Some city officials are happy about not having to worry
about lawsuits but it should be of concern to us all that the police will be
operating with even less restriction than usual."
This concerns me more than a little. In effect, the police are working for the
GOP, not St. Paul. It makes the police officers akin to employees of Blackwater
and other armies of mercenaries.
This is not good.
