Of course people like Q Cubed are quite happy to sit on their backsides while unelected mandarins subvert and remove our democratic rights.

thanks for mentioning me. even if that's wrong.

Ned, it's as if you're deliberately pretending to be stupid. Didn't I already say I wasn't doing anything illegal? Why do you so confidently presume to know that I was? Do you really find it that hard to believe that the police sometimes violate the law and mistreat innocent people? Do you pay no attention whatsoever to any form of media? You can't go a month without seeing some new instance of unfounded police abuse! Like Dave Barry says, we don't make this stuff up. We don't have to.

Remember Reagan's attorney general Ed Meese? Remember his line that they wouldn't be investigating anyone if they weren't guilty? Does that sound to you like the American system of justice we all like to imagine we can depend on?

Only the most closed of minds could so mindlessly persevere in insisting that, "hey, I don't know this guy, but there's no way he could have been assaulted and arrested if he wasn't violating the law."

debeest, there are some protests that are inherently illegal -- like those that proceed by trespassing. I remember clearly the debates on this issue when the first "sit-ins" on public property were held. The courts uniformly ruled such demonstrations illegal.

From the description of the events surrounding your arrest, you appear to have been participating in an illegal protest. Second, you were probably arrested because you did something illegal beyond just standing there and protesting with scores of others. That is why the officer chased after you to make the arrest.

Ned, if you went to a demo yourself, you would realize how wrong you are. The police DON'T give the orders. They just pretend to the media they have, and guess what? Most of the time the journalists don't check with the protesters if it is true. I've witnessed this myself on several occasions, and I totally agree with Agathon. The law is lousy, fvck the police.

of course ned is wrong... all his info comes from Fox news... what do you expect?

oh yeah, fox news is right, and first hand accounts and recordings of the ACTUAL INCIDENT are all wrong...
