Lindsay just reported in that there seem to be arrests at Sibley St of folks who attempted to block an RNC delegate bus - she's keeping us updated. ColdSnapLegal reports the Ramsey City Jail is on lockdown and no lawyers can get in to see the arrestees - same with the St Joseph hospital where some have been taken.

As you can see, reports are coming in fast from St Paul - with multiple demonstrations happening at once - some dedicated to legal protests and others to disrupting the RNC. The video above is of the Iraq Veterans Against the War march and here's a view of the legal march going on now:

Thanks to Teddy and his diary over at Kos, we also have a description of some not so legal events from a local resident who reports:

I was there, and I got gassed (6+ / 0-)
I live less than 1/2 mile away from the convention. I was on my way home when I saw the protesters appear. I followed them and was tear gassed.
They first appeared, to me at least, at Dayton and John Ireland Avenues in front of the St. Paul Cathedral. For a few hours the police and riot cops flanked them and forced them to march in certain directions. I personally witnessed the group blockade a number of streets. There appeared to be somewhere between 100 and 125 of them. They also pushed with them at least two dumpsters full of garbage on two occasions, emptying the contents out on the street as they went and both times overturning the dumpsters in the middle of the street to block police vehicles. They also grabbed trash cans, road signs and sandbags along the way to throw at police and block streets. I also witnessed them break out windows on at least three police vehicles, slash the tires of a limousine, throw a number of empty glass bottles at police officers and police vehicles and throw sandbags and a street sign off of a freeway overpass.
It appeared to me that the police were using excessive force, but to be fair these were not peaceful protesters.

Thanks to the amazing folks at The Uptake for supplying video from the scene!
