He was arrested for disobeying a police officer. Theyasked him to move along, and he said, saying he has a 1st Amendment right to free speech.

I’ve always been one to question the legality of having to “obey” a police officer, especially when I’m not violating any laws. I still question it.

In this particular instance, the police had a good reason to tell him to leave, to avoid a physical disturbance and incite the crowd to violence.

But, at the end of their discussion, he said, and he raised his hand to point to it, that his car was the other way. That’s when the little cop rushed him and grabbed his shirt.

This is a prime example of why community policing tactics should be taught to our police officers, this whole thing could have been avoided with just a little bit of diplomacy and finesse.

But, don’t get me started...LOL

I watched all last week on my local news as protesters of Proposition 8 (NO on Gay “Marriage” which passed) literally took to the streets and shut down major thoroughfares throughout the Los Angeles area. Thousands of these people were allowed to block traffic during rush hour one day with barely any arrests. Do you think you or I would get away with standing in the middle of a busy intersection blocking traffic to protest? They were endangering themselves and others but it was referred to as a “peaceful protest”.

The police clearly had a public safety issue they had to address. Still, it's awfully ironic that his behavior was allegedly deemed disorderly while the Obama supporters were behaving like a crazed mob.

So, we have to remove an individuals CONSTITUTIONAL rights to protect him from the rioters who would be breaking the law.

And this from a Freeper...

That is what will bring this nation down.

pretty sad state of affairs when a T-shirt can incite the crowd to violence....doesn’t say much for the crowd or what they believe in
