ACLU of Minnesota wants St. Paul to drop all charges against 46 people who shut down Interstate 94 Saturday night during a protest of Philando Castile’s death.
Mayor Chris Coleman characterized the demonstration as a riot after it turned violent, leaving 21 officers injured.
“These charges appear to be based on the actions of what most parties, including a St. Paul police spokesperson, agree were outside agitators,” said ACLU Minnesota’s executive director, Charles Samuelson, in a written statement Tuesday

No.
Hell No!
Rule of law.
If the ACLU was about rule of law they would never ask for attorney fees.
The ACLU is a terrorist organization. :-)

No way...a message must be sent that blocking a major route of transportation is not appropriate conduct...for example, people could have been trying to get transported to a hospital for emergency medical services and that would have delayed their arrival. This is far beyond mere inconvenience as the left tries to water it down to.
Alan Colmes is a card carrying member of the ACLU , enough said
People need to go to the ACLU offices and block the entrances and exits of the parking lots. When the ACLU employees can’t leave, they can call the cops and see how that goes...
$5,000 fine plus 6 months in jail. NO exceptions.
yeah, they can go @#$@# their mothers.
broken spines from rock throwing doesen’t warrant dismissal.
Did someone possibly die because an ambulance couldn’t get through?
And when someone dies in an ambulance because the road ahead is blocked...
They laugh about it.
It’s what they do.
These current protests are the tipping point. They’re either stopped now, with those who aren’t protesting legally and without disrupting others arrested with follow through, or some parts of the US will descend into anarchy.
Good news is that the LEO didn’t suffer a vertebrae fracture and has been cleared to return to work!
PTL!
What DIFFERENCE should it make if they were life-long citizens or outside agitators committing these crimes?
Yeesh!
time to RICO, etc. and sedition...prosecute the ACLU
Make them all pay for doctor bills and punitive damages. Make sure they have felony charges that stay with them their entire lives, and give them three years each to think about their actions. They grant them the wishes of the ACLU along with an FU to the ACLU.
Every member of the ACLU should be charged with inciting a riot in response.
Protestors my a$$.
They are rioters who assaulted police officers with rocks, bottles, chunks of concrete, fireworks, Molotov cocktails, etc.
These creeps should be in prison.
Turn them loose, that way they can follow I-94 to Madison, Milwaukee, then Chicago, then Benton Harbor and finally Detroit.
Why stop them? Have them make fools of themselves all along the rust-belt corridor.
