The trial of University student Augustin Ganley, who allegedly assaulted a police officer during an August Critical Mass bike protest, continued Wednesday with revelations that police were briefed on the presence of anti-Republican National Convention activists and warned to expect trouble.
Minneapolis police Sgt. David Stichter testified he was put in charge of a police task force for Critical Mass about two days before the Aug. 31 ride.
