Yestersday, I spoke at length with congressman Keith Ellison, who represents the people of Minneapolis. He agreed with me, that the treatment of journalists, that he'd seen on videos, was outrageous and inappropriate-- that journalists need to be able to report on protests without fearing arrest. And he promised to discuss and propose the idea of hearings to explore what happened, with John Conyers, head of the House Judiciary committee.
It is time for you to call your representative and senators and insist that hearings be held on the way police treated journalists and peaceful protesters. The police, the national guard, homeland security and the FBI went too for. Hearings must be held to prevent the US from sliding into a police state.
