At about 2:45 this past afternoon (Sept. 3), police wielding batons and a battering ram
entered the professional office building on Selby Avenue in St. Paul where
I-Witness Video is renting work space.
Geneva Finn, an attorney with the National Lawyer's Guild went to head off
the police. After the police left, she made this statement at an impromptu
press conference on the street:
A few minutes ago, one of our legal observers called me to
the door. I saw the St. Paul police unloading a bunch of equipment from
their cars and they saw me at the door. They saw me at the door, they
motioned me forward. I came forward to their cars. They told me that
they had reports that somebody was holding somebody hostage in the
building, that there had been a kidnapping. They told me that somebody,
an undercover had told them, that the anarchists were holding people
hostage in our building.
I then asked the police to
leave they
refused police came after us |
