“The Arizona police state rolls on. Today, outside the Arizona state Capitol, human rights activists Salvador Reza and Anayanse Garza of the group Puente held a press conference with their lawyers. This, following their arrests the day before in the state Senate building by plainclothes officers with the Arizona Department of Public Safety.

Both alleged abuse at the hands of DPS Officer J. Gentry Burton and DPS Sergeant Jeff Trap, who collared them after warning Reza to leave, supposedly because he had been “banned” on the orders of state Senate President Russell Pearce. Reza said he was thrown up against the glass window of the building’s lobby “like a common criminal.”

Garza claimed she was dragged by her hair during her arrests. Garza had not been “banned,” like Reza.

“They used violence against me,” stated the soft-spoken, 33 year-old woman.

Reza was charged with one misdemeanor count of trespassing. Garza was hit with two felony counts, aggravated assault on an officer and resisting arrest, as well as one misdemeanor count of disorderly conduct.......”

This person refuses to obey the direct and lawful orders of a police officer, assaults said officer, and then whines about being arrested or beaten?
