Raw footage from aftermath of Rage Against the Machine concert in Minneapolis on Day 3

17:25 minutes of raw footage of the crowd leaving the Rage Against the Machine concert in Minneapolis on September 3rd. After leaving the venue, the Target Center, many concert goers wanted to remain in the streets while police wanted them to go home, as RNC delegates were partying in Downtown Minneapolis.



Various scenes of riot police and concert goers, some concert goers shouting, "F**k you, I won't do what you tell me." One of the few pieces of footage where you can actually hear a loud police dispersal order. Various scenes of plain clothes police asking people "including the press" to move onto the sidewalk and, ultimately, scenes of a few individual arrests. Does not include images of the subsequent mass arrest.

The Fox 9 reporter, shunned by several in the crowd, eventually gets one person to answer her question "Can you guys tell me what is going on out here?", and gets the reply "This is what a police state looks like." She moves on eventually, saying something about "being peaceful" to the demonstrator, who clearly had no intention of doing anything, and tells her, "We are being peaceful. I didn't say I wanted to beat up any of these motherf**kers."
