More Arrests near Mears Park in St Paul
http://www.kare11.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=523539&catid=2

"The march was supposed to start at 4 p.m. in Mears Park, but didn't leave until about 6 p.m.

Honestly, there's at least as many cops in riot gear as there are protestors. These things are hard to guesstimate... I'd say 300 marchers 400 plus cops in riot gear.

Marchers just passed 7th & Wacouta They are very peaceful thus far... Just passed long block of plate glass windows... If there are more radical elements in this group they're not moving yet"

The march itself drew about 2,000 people, far fewer people than organizers hoped. They blamed a show of force by police to quell violence a day earlier.

1. Waiting for BF to get home
He called and said he was on the way. He decided to leave because he felt it was a "dangerous situation" and he is no stranger to demos.
I've been following events on http://twitter.com/coldsnaplegal since Friday night.
