Minneapolis Police Investigate Student Paper's Claims

Posted

"I don't think I've made up my mind completely, but the possible excuses are getting fewer and fewer," Mike Wereschagin said. Police broke formation to charge at the student journalists, he said, and one photographer was Maced in the face while holding up a press card.
