Police harassment of non-violent protest groups-- before the protest

What bothers me started with news coverage of the Democratic Convention. Feature stories about people sleeping in, “the Freedom Cage.” That nomenclature was appalling. When I found out that was a sardonic renaming by those making use of it I wasn’t much happier, because the idea of a “free speech zone” is anathema to me.

I am an american citizen. In the boundaries of the United States there is no public place where I cannot speak my mind on matters political.

The D's made protest unfeasible....The R's went farther.
