Now the Chicago police department is following Obama’s example and telling people that their First Amendment rights can be terminated anytime. Check out the incident caught on camera when a couple of news reporters were trying to cover a story outside a Chicago hospital.
Following the threat, the officer arrested the two journalists. Even though they were released a short time later, the incident has not gone unnoticed. According to the National Press Photographers Association, there have been 70 such arrests that they have documented since last September. Many of the arrests have involved the filming of news stories when the police decide they don’t want to allow it to be filmed. They seem to just arbitrarily decide on their own when it is legal and when it isn’t.
Minneapolis big enough? And yes, as long as I’m not obstructing traffic... Go eat a doughnut.
Shove it. I’m calling it like I see it. The cop gave a lawful order. So suck on it.
You can smell a guilty badge through the stench of jackboot,polish.
Uniform = power to the misguided, uninformed LEO. What a mess !
Did somebody fart? Oh, that one. He’s too dim to have ever been a cop. Probably a wannabee washout type. If he has a badge, it’s a fake he got at a pawn shop.
Not a cop, and never wanted to be one.
Perhaps you might consider that whatever the Newsie said or did, the behavior and language of the uniformed officer is a disgrace. That officer is in need of attitude adjustment, followed by loss of LEO certification.
This officer clearly can’t take an oath to support and defend the Constitution because he has no idea of the basic constructs of America and the Constitution.
I notice the other cops are mostly looking at their shoes.
For the last time, the cop asked him to move to the sidewalk. What are people missing?
>>He’s just a troll here to break everyone’s chops. I have him zotblocked on my FR.
Obvious trolling. How do I block him? Thanks.
So basically, you have zero clue what you are talking about and are being a rather obvious troll.
Isn’t that a violation of the ToS?
No. It’s what you are missing. This isn’t the military and civilians don’t have to take orders.
Piss off.
Holy Hanna, never saw so many beer guts in blue!
Okay, I realize I'm a radical Constitutionalist, and bit of a "rules lawyer" when it comes to government... but why does everyone want to protest me?
We should never have allowed them to become “law enforcement officers”.
Completely different mindset from a peace officer.
Completely.
Threatening to terminate a citizen’s First Amendment Rights?
Arresting a peaceful Marine?
Will you even justify them when they shoot children to intimidate their parents?
“The rapid evolution of the U.S.A. to the U.S.S.A. continues apace.”
Why do you think Americans stock up on ammo?
That video is someone’s winning lawsuit.
Nice picture but I don’t think the hat does much for you. Maybe these cops just haven’t shot enough dogs this month.
They’re out of control all over this country. Stop sniffing their jocks and wake up.
