Flash Grenades & Teargas Used on RNC Anti-War March

The AP (boo hiss) report-

Mounted police blocked a bridge Thursday as hundreds of anti-war protesters tried to march from the state Capitol to the Xcel Energy Center where Sen. John McCain was due to accept the GOP nomination for president. After about an hourlong standoff, they retreated to find another way to the convention site. But police also had blocked major roads to the Xcel Center. Police blocked the bridge, which runs over Interstate 94 about a quarter-mile from the convention site, after the protesters’ march permit had expired.

But thanks to Identity Check there is this Twitter feed some bits-

From WCCO-

Several people were being arrested as officers closed in on groups, took some into custody then swirled around other pockets of people roaming the streets while Senator John McCain accepted his party’s nomination for president nearby.
