An item on the "News" section of this site authored by OccupyWallStreet seems to be attempting to invoke the Geneva Conventions regarding the Boston Police Departments actions.

Seriously, forks. How laughable is that????????????

No forks here... Just spoons. Sorry, I could not resist.

It is not a laughing matter, and you should be paying more attention since they also violated the constitution by ordering the press to leave.

folks, forks...oh well. Please tell me why the Geneva Conventions would apply?

What I saw was a comparison to the treatment of medics, rather than a direct call for applying the Geneva convention. However, the police did violate the constitution by interfering with the press to control information because they are part of the government.
