Minneapolis, September 27, 2010. Three hundred plus rallied in front of the Minneapolis FBI Headquarters Building in solidarity with the six citizens who were invaded by the FBI Friday September 24. A seventh was served with a warrant for grand jury appearance but she escaped the shattered doors and confiscated computers, phones etc. The crowd was load and outraged but disciplined. This was a non-violent rally. The 20 Minneapolis Police who took up station across Washington Avenue were left without task. People representing many organizations spoke in support of the peace activist victims.The building manager wisely told his security to ignore their initial request that the protesters stay off the plaza and confine action to just the sidewalk. This simple act defused the initial anger about being pushed into the street.
