(62,683 posts)3. Oh, man -- I just keep thinking of Scott Olsen and others who have been

I hope he's okay and gets a great lawyer.

And right now, I'm worried about one of our local livestreamers. His quarters were raided earlier today -- which means there is a potential of something being planted there. Then, he and a few others were stopped at gunpoint by the CPD, cuffed and searched.
Unbelievable. They are targeting journalists.

it's just them against us.
If we were reading about this happening in other countries we'd be appalled -- why don't people see that's it going on here right under their noses?
