Massive police raids on suspected protestors in Minneapolis

Why isn't this ALL over the media? I'm totally outraged. Watch the videos and read the coverage

Ellen, I share your outrage, but to be fair, even CNN ran this story today. Of course, in their dribbling, half-assed way.

They have? I haven't seen it online at cnn.com...I've been looking...it must be well and truly hidden.

I saw it covered on the news this morning. It probably got pushed off by the storm headlines.

Relieved to hear that.

It is pretty hidden, and only talks about one raid. You can find a lot more info at http://theuptake.org/, and for a detailed story on one of the raids you can go to http://www.minnesotaindependent.com/6158/breaking-food-not-bombs-house-among-saturday-raids.

I followed this pretty closely over the weekend and there is a lot of info out there, but it got very little mention in the major media.
