2008 Police Blocking Student Protestors
posted by September 4 at 15:56 PM
onAbout 500 people (estimates the Star Tribune) have assembled at the capital building and planned to march downtown, just like protesters have been doing pretty much every day this week.
This time, the riot squad won’t let them:
Protesters were told they were marching illegally and that more police were about to arrive.
Police described the situation as “fluid.”
Mmm… police fluid.
