27. it is making the news

"The video report was put together by local independent media activists and members of Communities United Against Police Brutality. In a summary of their findings, the journalists say they believe young people hanging out near Peavey Plaza were targeted as subjects because getting them intoxicated is a way for police to "discredit and disrupt the Occupy movement."

it really expanded through out the day. I kept googling every 2 hours and more and more sites at it on.. I saw it go from Occupy MN.. to city pages, to Daily Kos, to Raw Story, then Huffington Post at the same time getting on Star Tribune (I didn't like their write up) and MPR.

I hope others look into the tax dollars going to this.
