They don't even want to admit that they don't want any witnesses.

I thought it was because they were bad dressers...

I thought that was the fashion police :-/

If I'm not mistaken, the group that videotaped police and proved that police statements were false in this incident is the same group that has been targeted in the raids this week in St. Paul. They are not threatening in any way, as far as any allegation in the news suggests. But they hold law enforcement accountable to the law.

Did you notice that the trouble-makers, a small group of anarchists, are being identified by some on Clipmarks as liberals? If liberals love "big" government and anarchists don't like any government whatsoever, that makes them more like libertarians.

Well, some versions of libertarianism, if taken to their logical conclusion, lead to anarchism. The term has been identified with the left for a long time, although it is not as simple as it sounds. In many ways anarchist, by their very nature, reject the right-left paradigm.
