Make some Noise about Noyse!!
Doesn't anyone have a video recorder.
really. evidence defeats disbelief.
Get a lawyer, beat the charges in court and then sue the cop and the "Women's center" aka abortion mill and the city for about $5 million for attempting to deny a citizen of their First Amendment rights.
Stop whining and hire a lawyer!
I do have a question though. What is this officer doing in the abortion clinic? Why is the City of Richmond apparently assigning a police officer to a private business rather than making the business provide its own security detail like Wal-Mart or any other legitimate business would do? If this officer is moonlighting, he has no authority to write official summons/tickets. If he is moonlighting in uniform, he is abusing his authority and should be summarily fired.
I assume the Christians are polite and appropriate.
But the officer is outrageous and out of control, for sure!
What you said. And demand a jury trial in EVERY instance.
This officer is posessed with a demon. Cast it out in the name of our Lord Jesus!!!
money does drive people to do weird things.
Nothing like a little bit of discretion on the part of cops to arrest whoever he wants to, for "disorderly conduct."
if i am posted somewhere and there are people blocking the entrance of the establishment, yelling at people entering lawfully, perhaps threatening them, following them, writing their license plates down, taking pictures of them, etc..., that is harrassment. and if they have been warned to stop and they continue, that can be discon as well. i, of course don't know the whole story. you'll forgive me if i need more information than this ministries account.
i am not saying there aren't some cops who abuse their power, but for every bad cop you hear about, there are thousands who do their job right and never get (or ask for any) press.

Hi, I direct the ministry that sent out the press release. www.lifeandlibertyministries.com
In Richmond VA, police officers can moonlight (in uniform) with arresting authority. The Officer, at the time of the arrest was on the payroll of the clinic as he is several days of the week.
In this case, your assumptions are correct. This was the third arrest made by this Officer in four months.
