According to MCPD statement above, Michael Graham 'was detained by Montgomery County Police when he disregarded questions by “Real ID” protest rally event security staff.'

Funny how that statement is not borne out by Graham's tape recording of the event.

More from MCPD's statement, Graham was "detained" by MCPD, and "that these actions were being taken not to deny him access to the rally, but because his attire and conduct could pose a safety risk to himself, others attending the rally, and the public safety staff assigned to the event."

Interesting how MCPD says "detained" for his own safety... Graham says that 4 cops grabbed him, one around his neck and dragged him away. Sounds safe to me.

I really wish that Michael would file a formal complaint. I wonder if WMAL has told him to let it drop. Maybe he can take them to Judge Judy. :)

Yea, they sure condensed that story to make them look good.

He didn't disregard the questions, he showed his ID and asked for ID from the thugs questioning him.

Although it has now been confirmed that the ruffians were security, they should have had some proof if they want to have authority.
Heck, anyone could stand at a gate and say they work there.

BTW, Huckabee was supposed to be on tonite also, but apparently he got bumped because of the tragic murder of those little girls.
