Amnesty International has condemned the police in St. Paul, Minnesota for deploying unnecessary and disproportionate use of non-lethal weapons on peaceful protesters during last week’s Republican National Convention. Police fired rubber bullets and used batons, pepper spray, teargas canisters and concussion grenades on peaceful demonstrations. Amnesty said some of the police actions appear to have breached United Nations standards and US laws on the use of force by law enforcement officials.
