David Willoughby was discussed on Greta's show tonight - from appearances and edited videos he was protesting at Barrett rally the same way thousands of Libs have protested at Walker and conservative rallies, and did not threaten or engage in violence prior to being hauled away.

Why was he detained?

[Travis McGee]

Welcome to the USSA, comrade.

[bigbob]

Evidently the Milwaukee Police say Willoughby "raised a sign over his head in such a way that it endangered the public"

Good thing he didn't bang on a drum, or anything...

Sue the ignorant gestapo and the jurisdiction. The cops have gone overboard and need to be reeducated and reined in.

[Hunton Peck]

There were union guys bellowing through megaphones and banging drums at pro-Walker rallies last year, but they had little impact because there were so many folks there and the atmosphere was vibrant.

Dave showed up with just his sign and his unamplified voice and caused a tizzy, because there were so few people there and the atmosphere was somnolent.

In other words, he was probably arrested out of pure frustration that no one cares about the unions anymore.

Police to have the right to remove a person from an immediate area or refuse them entrance to an otherwise public area to prevent violence. For example, they have the right to separate the KKK from the NAACP at a rally.

The law does not require the police to wait until a fight starts to take action.

However, once he was removed from the immediate area, there is a dubious right to detain him further, hold him, book him, etc.

There is only one thing to do. Sue.

Claim $500,000 and the city and their insurance company will settle for $10,000 to $50,000 very quickly.

Sounds as though he may have a good case for false arrest, notwithstanding his claim that the police stated that he was not under arrest. The word “arrest” is not some sort of talismanic word; the actions of the police, and the fact that he was forcibly restrained and apparently not at liberty to leave, may better define what is, and is not, an arrest. False arrest, false imprisonment, violation of First Amendment rights...could be a nice payday.

Because they can. They [Democrats] know that they will suffer no negative consequences for their illegal action. If he had resisted, they would have killed him.

>"Why was he detained? "

For informing a Fascist of his G_d given American Rights! That's why.

[celtic gal]

Well 0bama came out with this edict that the SS could arrest anyone at a political rally that was not being favorable...remember that? Well I guess the democRAT thugs have taken this to heart and tried it out...and so far...no big stink other than on the Conservative formats....

Yep..and if 0bama is reelected we really will become the USSA. Like the Marine in the article..what in hell was our years in military service for? For this?? I hope to God not. If is was, what a waste or service was!

[hosepipe]

The LEOS(police) are in fact Union thuggs..
Wisconsin has a BIG problem.. they need a larger douchebag..

[mylife]

The Cops are Union

[publius911]

Why was he detained?

The "public servants" law enforcement and safety workers are union, ya know.

When their "some are more equal than others" status and perks are threatened, the thugs have the guns, handcuffs and flashing red lights.
