Felony news reporting in St. Paul, Denver

The Republican National Convention is turning out no different from the DNC last week. I can understand why city officials in St. Paul and Denver would want to take a hard line on protests that intend more to disrupt than to draw attention to issues. But arresting working journalists just lends credence to protesters' claims that the party committees and cities are colluding to suppress free speech. So far, the tally in St. Paul is four, including an AP photographer and a reporter and two producers from the left-wing news organization Democracy Now!
