I arrived too late in Minneapolis to witness the police (and FBI) raiding the houses of supposed protesters, but a number of people have been doing incredible coverage of it.
Read the links above. It's insane that this hasn't gotten more coverage. Apparently the federal government has directed local authorities to first infiltrate lefty groups (like vegans. seriously) and is now raiding the homes of dozens of protesters before they did anything. In some cases they surrounded homes and told people they'd be arrested if they left the house. Exactly what legal authority does the state have to do that?
More on this later...
