Free Republic just got a mention on the Bryan Suits show. Although the caller said the fact that "Caller Eric" did not have a gun and was held for 2.5 hours after being cleared was news to him....

From the original article:
"Caller Eric said he was the one counter protester that did not have a weapon. At that point they were cuffed and taken to the West precinct where they spent the next 2 plus hours being detained until the march was over."

I think the point was that everyone here is focusing on the fact that they were detained, not on the fact that one of the people detained was unarmed and that they were detained long after it was made clear that they were not criminals or a threat. It looks like they were detained to keep them from exercising thier 1st Amendment rights because their message was "controversial". Bryan Suits is spot-on about this.

If it were me (and it definitely would have been had I not had business to attend to that night), I would be "lawyering up" as we speak. I almost wish it would have been just so I could raise the holy unmitigated Hell on the Seattle PD and media for this.

Quite telling that the media is not reporting about this nor Kirby's producer's stolen gun story. Telling, not surprising, this is the Seattle media after all.
