On the Constitution and Rule of law

Noted an article today about news people at the Republican Convention reportedly being arrested, tortured, injured, by police because there were allegedly disrupting the convention.

I have no idea who is telling the truth. Perhaps neither. I'm sure there are injuries as these are mentioned in the article and thus must exist as proof of the brutality.

However. The police are not republicans. So there may or may not be a connection

Arrests allegedly were made and opinions were stated that there could be heavy prison sentences under the State Law which is modeled on the Patriot Act. Opinion was stated that there would be no trial because the reporters were being classed as Terrorists.

The Constitution allows for Habeus Corpus. This must not be denied. The Constitution allows for a trial under law. This must be granted.

Until I see video footage of these or other instances committed by the Police, I can not make an opinion. However, I do expect a public hearing as soon as possible.
