Rocky Mountain News excerpt:
Code Pink protester shown on video being shoved to the ground by a police officer's baton and later hauled away remains in jail on a charge of interfering with an arrest but should be released tonight, Code Pink officials say.
Alicia Forrest was arrested outside Civic Center Park after confronting officers and asking them questions about another arrest they were making, said Sally Newman, legal liaison and spokeswoman for the group.
"She was one of a number of people trying to find out where this person was being taken," Newman said. "They just arrested her along with him."
The video shows an officer quickly shoving Forrest with the length of his baton, forcing her to the ground with a smack. Later, as she was speaking with reporters, the video shows police coming behind her and dragging her away.
SNIP
Code Pink posted a $500 bail for Forrest, and the group expects her to be released in four to six hours, Newman said.
Ping.
Even the DUmmies are saying she was asking for it L0L
The first sidewalk sandwich!! Recreate ‘68 (arrests).
Hmmm....
While I have no fond feelings for the Code Pinkos, I do think that the po-lice were a little too proactive on this one.
maybe there’s more to the story than the yooo tube vid showed?
Well, she found out, didn't she?! LOL!
Oh yes — the girl. She fell to the ground and acted like she was dead or unconscious
After playing dead to arouse sympathy, she suddenly hopped up when everyone was looking elsewhere
Headlines as we wish they could read.
I hate Code Pink, but in the past few years, I have come to distrust many of our “peace” officers. They like to rough up people - big tough guys - I’ve seen them pick on pro-life people who are doing nothing but trying to talk girls out of killing their babies.
Isn’t it amazing how the taunts and other activities prior to “the incident” never seem to make it to the tape...
They duped you..... it was provacation. She wanted it, therefore rape was not possible.
Just honing their skills at the DNC before they move on to St Paul
I have no doubt that what happened just previous to the officer’s action was filmed and we will never see it.
Hit her again, hit her again, harder, harder.........
Old high school football cheer that just came to mind......l.
pwned
Sweeeeeeeeeeet
She was asked to move back and refused to comply.
She was being an agitator
What I want to know is would she get the same treatment if she was "demonstrating" in front of a Marine Corps recruiting office rather than in front of the DemoRat thug machine convention?
If so, good on the cop.
Perhaps, but I would have liked to have seen the complete altercation.
