Two anti-poverty protesters who organized an outdoor encampment on Harriet Island in St. Paul were arrested last night, after they refused to clear the park by the 11 pm closing time. The arrests were peaceful, but the situation drew a strong police response. About 60 officers arrived in the park late last night by bike and on foot. Many were part of a crowd-control team that will be sent out to trouble spots during next week's Republican National Convention. Protester Shamako Noble of San Jose, California, is a member of the Poor People's Economic Human Rights Campaign. He thinks the police reaction was overkill.
