Unprovoked police action at the RNC
Primary tabs
I am out in St. Paul, MN at the RNC. Yesterday at the Poor People March, I was standing watching some Mexican Indigenous dancers when a rush of about a dozen police in riot gear take down a woman standing five feet away from me. There was nothing she was doing and the event as a whole was peaceful until the police arrived.
After taking her down violently, they proceeded to handcuff her and take her out to the road surrounded by riot police. The woman who I later found out was Wendy Binion from Portland Indy Media was repeatedly stating "I'm not resisting, I'm not resisting".
