2nd post today on anarchists

on the RNC Welcoming Committee's website, there's a page for tourist information for St. Paul. The first document is a copy of the St. Paul Police Department policy for "first amendment activity". God, I love the First Amendment and the internet. The first paragraph of the police dept. policy states:

We [the police] will not initiate or participate in the investigation into groups or individuals based solely upon their lawful exercise of First Amendment Rights.

sounds grand, eh? Stop here and I would be thinking such grand thoughts of our state capitol's law enforcement, despite the whole Taser thing. But ...

2nd sentence:

Where [we] must initiate or participate in investigations involving First Amendment activity, [it will be in compliance with the state & federal constitution and fed. laws].

So, we aren't going to do it. Unless we have to do it. ???

That excuse didn't work when I was 6.
