I knew Fletcher 30 years ago when he was St. Paul Patrolman. It’s no surprise he’s a crook. It’s only a surprise it too this long for him to get caught.

The RNC’s Stasi want to create a riot. Obmas 85 thousand arena is a hard
act to follow by the brain washed senile old man and his evangelican femanzai veep. Anything to get some attention. They no doubt given enough
favors to the benches that will find the innocent guilty. If the RNC says jump the police and benchs there are probably wiping two minutes before the order.

ya know what I *don’t* see? The signature of any judge.

That’s because the PDF only shows the first two pages of the warrant. On the second page you can faintly see a third page showing through, and there may have been more. The judge would have signed the last page.

I suspect Thune may not be briefed on the total mutual aid agreement that was set up for the convention. They are bringing police and State Patrol and sheriff deputies from all over the state, and they have set it up so that they can all cross district and county lines. In fact they have even imported some police from Boston for this thing, and they brought in some from Wisconsin. In essence it is all under that agreement which was structured by Homeland Security. For the duration, all our nice tidy borders are meaningless.

Twas a day when Minneapolis had a city law that allowed protesters to get in fairly close to an event. Passed during the early Reagan years, when Don Fraser was still Mayor, and the Secret Service tried to set up a protest site in Loring Park, while the Reagan event was at the Leamington. (Leamington now gone, but it was about a mile from the protest site). That ordinance was still inforce when Clinton was in office. Under that, protesters could be just across the street from an event. That had to go for this Convention. You know, for the rest of his two terms, Reagan never returned to Mpls — because of that ordinance. He went to St. Paul and Bloomington, but no Mpls events. Clinton had a number of them at the Target center, and just ignored the protesters.

I’m confident Republican stall-warts will have a free pass next week. Probably be enough toe-tapping to register on the Richter scale.
