At least, you know, if there’s a convention in town. Check it out; the NYPD basically arrested everyone they could find — more than at any other political convention in the US — and held them far as long as they wanted (i.e., until the convention was over) with no regard for whether or not the people arrested were breaking laws, or were really even protesters.

Dollars to donuts says there will be no real repercussions against the cops who did this, and even less against those who ordered it, and that makes it much easier for NYPD or LAPD or anyone to do exactly the same thing again, any time they decide they want to quash legal dissent.

Who is it that hates freedom again? I forget.
