Wow, the news about the police state being perpetrated at the Republican Convention continues to be disturbing.

What is even more disturbing, though, is the deafening silence from the corporate media about the mistreatment of lawful protesters and journalists.

Wow, that sounds like one unruly crowd, all right.

Here are some good sources of info about the string of violent raids and unwarranted arrests that have gone on this week if you haven’t been following it yourself: Green is the New Red, Democracy Now, Glenn Greenwald at Salon. And Food Fight shares one very disturbing arrest video.
