FBI, Police Detaining GOP Convention Protest Group Members

Glenn Greenwald is covering the FBI and Minnesota Police's raids of protesters houses ahead of the Republican convention. This is without any probable cause and mostly without warrants.

What's the chance of politicians sticking up for democratic freedoms? Slim.
