It's a few articles detailing massive police raids in Minneapolis a couple days ago. They raided houses in riot gear, arresting people they suspected of planning a protest at the democratic national convention.
Although they did confiscate a few weapons, and a book that details homemade bombs, they detained only five of the many people because of them.
I understand the concerns of the government, as explained by the mayor in the third article, and I understand that they suspected that the protest would lead to "anarchist" violent behavior. What I do not understand is when pre-emptive strikes became acceptable within American society.
I'm scared.
