A trio of journalists who have a track record of documenting police abuse at political conventions were stopped and searched during the early morning hours in Minneapolis. Police took their video equipment, cell phones, hard drive and notes about protests planned for next week's Republican National Convention.
No charges have been filed against the three, according to Mineapolis police spokesman Sgt. William Palmer.
