Town-hall clash! Cop vs. Obama 'Joker' poster

"This used to be America," argued a protester outside a health-care town hall meeting in Reston, Va., after a police officer threatened him with arrest for holding up a sign with a picture critical of Barack Obama.

The officer's response?

"It ain't no more, OK?"

A video of the town hall held earlier this week by Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., shows an unnamed protester standing on school grounds carrying a sign that read "Organizing for National Socialist Health Care – The Final Solution" and depicted Barack Obama in the Joker's makeup.

Officer Wesley Cheeks Jr. then told the protester that even though others were holding signs, his sign was unacceptable because of the depiction of Obama.

"But you got this with a picture," Cheeks said, explaining why the protester was being singled out from the others. "That's the difference. This has got a picture on it. That don't have a picture on it.

"Sir, leave the picture down," the officer said. "If you put the picture back up, you'll be charged with trespassing."

“It ain’t no more, OK?”

This is not going to end well. We all know this and when you have an officer sworn to uphold the law and the constitution spouting this kind of answer, well you know that it can’t end well.

So, IF someone ever asks Emperor obie about this, I’m sure he will say, “No comment. I got in trouble the last time I talked about police.”

Of course, sounds like this guy ain’t no poe-leece.

[Outlaw Woman]

“Emperor obie” I like that......wonder if he is related to Officer Obie from Alice’s resturaunt (for you younger freepers you should find a copy of that song)

Of course Emperor Obie is half white......but ...

Yep...that's my poster picture. Apparently someone over there in VA saw it and liked it and made a poster out of it. Good on em.

The video is unbelievable...the officer was (IMHO) intejecting his own political feelings and opinions of the poster into a exercise of infringing on 1st amendment rights on what appeared to be public property.

Folks should watch the video. 50,000+ views the first night. It is indeed a policeman infringing on a townhall attendee's 1st amendment rights over a poster made from a picture on my Obama-Care final soultion site:

This issue, and the overwhelming rejection of it (and Obama) by the American people is really bringing the marxists and fascists out of the woodwork.

"I can arrest you on any charge I choose", "This aint America any more", etc., etc.

Comments at the youtube site indicate that the officer is Fairfax County Public Schools Security Services.

Like you, I live in Maine.

But I lived for years in Southern California, and they’ve had black police officers associatons for years....not exactly unions, but close enough.

Every conservative needs to remember this when their local public schools ask them for donations , ask them to buy from their fund raising sales etc .
Every time any legislation comes up asking for more money for any kind of public education conservatives need to vote NO. The beast that is the public education system that is failing to teach real history to our children and instead filling their minds with complete trash needs to be starved.

school property = government property = first amendment violation and legally actionable in court.

The “enemy is not Mr. Cheeks, who is just a stupid tool in this very elucidating incident now for the whole WORLD to see.”

Just because he is not at the top of the food chain does not mean he isn’t the enemy. The tools are the ones who do the enforcing for the masters. And if he has a badge he is a very dangerous “tool.”

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Cheeks IS part of the problem and you attempting to hold him blameless is tantamount to a Nazi claiming he “was just following orders”.

Very true. Without people like Cheeks, there IS no problem. Think Nazism without Nazis -- no applicators, no application, no problem!

Thanks. I like that song. Interest video, the juxtapositions.
