Police State
from Suburban Guerrilla by Maya
Looks like the detention centers in Minneapolis are filling nicely - they’re up to around 800 detainees now - the cops are doing a heckuva job with their pre-emptive strategy. People are being denied access to needed medical attention, and kids are being sentenced in adult jails. And for some strange reason they keep ignoring media creds, especially for photographers.
Coldsnap legal collective recommends that you call the following offices:
* St. Paul Mayor Chris Coleman (651.266.8510)
* Ramsey County Sheriff Bob Fletcher (651.266.9333)
* County Chief Judge Gearin (651.266.8266)
And demand the following:
* Immediate medical attention as needed for ALL arrestees;
* That the prisoners who haven’t given their names (Jane, John, and Jesse Does) have access to group meetings with a lawyer;
* Dismissal of all charges; and
* Release of all minors.
Too bad this won’t get more coverage.
