Welcome to St. Paul.

Police started lobbing the tear gas about 10 minutes after I got to the action.

Before coming upon the action, a jaunt along the Mississippi River revealed that gunboat diplomacy isn't just for foreign nations anymore.

I caught up with this action apparently a few minutes after it started. The police were hanging back about 50 yards as a group began to shut down an intersection a few blocks east/northeast of the Xcel Center.
