Activist Post: Man Arrested For Holding “Impeach Obama” Sign

I found the streaming not so great, but the line is pretty interesting.

I’m kinda on the fence on this one in that “victim” could have been considered a nuisance. Outright confrontation is not against the law, but it certainly will not help one’s cause either.

We had a situation here in Little Rock this past week when a SWAT team member confronted a city employee (in the county courthouse lobby) for wearing a polo shirt that had LRPD (Little Rock Police Department in very small letters at the top left of shirt) embroidered on it. The employee was not an officer, but felt he was supporting the organization. It escalated to 'keep your hands visible' and city employees calling the police to resolve this embarassing situation. Keep the dog on a collar I guess.

Law enforcement is slowly but incrementally getting out of control.<o></o>

In the future sometime we will realize that it is crowd control.....

For me, this is a bigger issue than is the current political regime/situation.Those fools can be voted out of office, but the police can't and they often view their job position as authorized brutality against the general public. I know from personal experience, I once had a brother-in-law who was a policeman in Wichita, KS, and he use to revel in telling us abut the varied and sundried manners in which they were instructed in ways to inflict pain on the public.

We like to be able to tell our children that the police are our friends, but I for one had trouble doing that......they've never been too friendly to me!

Cheers from Doug!!

Doug,

From the age of about 10 my daughter wanted to be a police woman, she did her work experience at a Police station, did a two year course at college on public services and then did one year on a Public Services degree course before switching to nursing.

A few things made her change her mind but the main ones were the experiences of a homeless teenager and his treatment by the police related to her class, and the response of a desk sergeant.

She was out with friends one night and witnessed a gang set their dog on what appeared to be an innocent lad. She went to the police station to report it to be told by the desk sergeant, “he probably deserved it”.

Now I know not all police are like this I have a salt of the earth friend who was a policeman but it seems where as in the past the thugs in the police were a minority, they seem to be becoming the majority.

It does not help when things go wrong and they are filmed punching an innocent passerby during a demonstration who later died, or whacking a defenceless female protester in the face they seem be to be immune from prosecution
