Cindy Sheehan Claiming Police Brutality
NewsMax ^ | 2/1/06 | NewsMax

"Peace Mom" Cindy Sheehan is so angry that she wasn't allowed to disrupt last night's State of the Union address that intends to file a lawsuit claiming she was brutalized by Capitol Hill police who suppressed her first amendment freedoms.

"I have the bruises and muscle spasms to prove it," Sheehan said, in a message posted to several left wing web sites after she was arrested and then released on her own recognizance.

Sheehan also contends she suffered emotional trauma, complaining: "I am so upset and sore it is hard to think straight."

The Bush-bashing Gold Star mom says she wants to take legal action, announcing:

"I have some lawyers looking into filing a First Amendment lawsuit against the government for what happened tonight. I will file it. It is time to take our freedoms and our country back."

In her message Sheehan detailed the abuse by one security guard who hauled her off after she unzipped her jacked to display a T-shirt decrying the number of Iraq war dead.

"[A Capitol Police] officer ran over to me, hauled me out of my seat and roughly [with my hands behind my back], shoved me up the stairs," she said.

The anti-war Mom recalled complaining as she was being hustled out of the building: "I'm going, do you have to be so rough?"

Sheehan said that after the officer was informed that she was a big celebrity, the abusive treatment stopped.

"You didn't care about being careful when you were dragging me up the other steps," she recalled telling the Capitol guard.

If you haven't already seen the CNN news video of Sheehan as she's released from police custody, it's worth viewing.

You'll recognize familiar faces of the Walter Reed blood dancing Code PinkOs... Gael Murphy, Large Marge, Ann Wilcox...

She was NOT gone for only 10 minutes. See the article above.

Brief excerpt:

Four hours and 2 jails after I was arrested, I was let out. Again, I am so upset and sore it is hard to think straight.

She sure looks "brutalized" in this photo...



Why, look!

That man has his hand on her arm.

But wait!

She said, "[A Capitol Police] officer ran over to me, hauled me out of my seat and roughly [with my hands behind my back], shoved me up the stairs."

Well, this Agence France Press photo doesn't fit her description of the arrest.

Is Cindy saying that Agence France Press doctored their photo??

She pulled a "Do you know who I am?"
That's reserved for Kennedys.

And Sheila Jackson Lee - Houston's Own Miss Piggy!

“Jackson Lee usually gets first-class upgrades from the airline. But on this particular flight first class was full. After cabin attendants delivered the bad news and showed her to the coach section, Jackson Lee exploded, said one witness.

‘When she saw that she had to sit with other people, she started shouting that she was in Congress and worked hard. She was really loud. Everybody in the plane could hear.’

Frequent flyers say that such outbursts are common whenever Jackson Lee is on board. The Continental crew seemed to take the whole situation in stride. Attendants scurried around to find her other accommodations, and once Jackson Lee got her own row of seats she quieted down."
