So now they are going into people's homes and arresting them for "conspiracy to commit a riot"? So having a mass demonstration is the same as a "riot"?
People in Denver tried to recreate the Democratic convention riots from the past. They were watched but I don't believe they went into their homes and arrested them for doing NOTHING!
This is outrageous BULLSHIT!

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Republican National Convention protesters targeted in a series of police raids Friday night and Saturday say they won't back down from their plans to march on the event's opening day.
Organizers have said they hope to attract up to 50,000 people to the protest Monday.
Four people were arrested at two Minneapolis homes and booked on probable cause of conspiracy to commit a riot, said Gina Berglund, an attorney helping to represent protesters. There were no arrests at a third home targeted. Later, the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office said a fifth person was arrested at an undisclosed location.
