Convention protester tortured in jail

The wingnutosphere was right when it said lots of violence went on during this week's Republican National Convention in St. Paul. But the violence wasn't from the protesters. It was from the authorities.

A young man who was jailed for daring to protest the convention told reporters he was beaten mercilessly at the Ramsey County Jail. A jail officer punched him in the face, and another slammed his head on the ground. He was then tortured so brutally that he had to be hospitalized.

The media has been asleep at the switch by failing to make sure this abuse is widely reported.

Here's hoping the city and county get the living shit sued out of them.
