Citizens Arrested For Reading The Constitution

RolandTD20Kdrummer

Hello police state.

"Peaceful onlookers were arrested by police for reading the Constitution while a pro-war group was allowed full freedom of speech in Washington DC recently in another flagrant example of how American cops are now the enforcers of a tyrannical police state."

I question the source...
just like I questioned the source of that report alst year about people 'Peacefully reading the Bible' and a Pro-Choice Rally. Turns out they were screaming Biblical passages over bullhorns.
The same goes here... I doubt if they were 'peacefully reading the Constitution'... and I'll bet bullhorns come into play.
...
Like I always say... consider the source.

That would be great and all, but nobody knew what they were getting arrested for, and police would not divulge any information when asked directly.

It seems obvious you missed the video...

Yeah... the firewall here at work prevents video feeds and downloads.

But, you get where I'm coming from, right? Just like you and I would question a story that is exclusively found from FOX News.
All I'm saying is... consider the source... seek verification elsewhere.

the video doesnt show much. shows a few people being put into a paddy wagon and complaining. but you make an excellent point, which I'm sure is falling on deaf ears

Videos don't always show the complete story (i.e. Rodney King). Were the demostrators being disruptive? Tresspassing? Failing to disperse upon orders?
Just like those 'Peaceful demonstrators' at the Pro-Choice rally... screaming through a bullhorn into my fucking ear is NOT Peaceful. Or Rodney King... how did the fucking guy get 16 cops on his ass? Most I've ever had was 2... because I pull over as soon as the red lights pop up in my mirrors. I can probably get 16 to follow me if I decide my '72 VW Beetle can outrun a police cruiser... but, I don't.
Video does not equate to truth.

Do we even still have a Constitution. I thought by now the President and Congress would have used up every inch of it to wipe their asses.

Bush is an ass but nothing will change regardless of which party takes over.

Yes we definitely have it a lot better than most countries, but there is much amiss in this country and we need to fix it, starting with our government. While we do have many freedoms some are slowly being eroded.

Here is an example. One of my younger brother's friends purchased a bar right across the street to where they built the new Devils Arena in Newark. He payed top dollar for the property knowing that it would be prime location. Prior to purchasing it the city told him that he neede to do a lot of remodeling to make the exterior and interior look nice. He put in $60,000 dollars in work. Last month the city told him they where buying the property from him at the price he paid for it. He is going to fight it but they are pulling eminent domain on him and from what his lawyer told him the city will most likely win.

So now the government has the right to make you sell your property at a price that they, not the market, determines so they can turn around and sell it to a developer for a profit.
