I spent a good part of yesterday afternoon napping, but I did manage to watch some tv as I chilled on the couch and flipped some channels.

I was a bit suprised a KSTP news segment that included a rather lengthy editorial in which KSTP states in part

It is rare when KSTP decides to take an editorial position.

But it’s also rare when a community is faced with the complications of hosting thousands of delegates, politicians, activists and journalists.

For many people from the Twin Cities, the only part of the Republican National Convention they could see in person was the thousands of police officers from all over Minnesota, all over the country really, who were here to protect people and property.

Read the full statement here. ^[1]

Now the conspiracy theorists are going nuts and you can expect to hear more about this over the next few days.

 David Brauer at Minnpost already has more. ^[2]

Personally, I think the police were necessary, did a good job, and in some instances helped exacerbate a bad situation. I do find the KSTP editorial to be little weird,out of place, and oddly contrived. Even my wife commented on how it seemed unusual.

What do you think?
