Arrests and Evictions over "safety concerns".

Quote:
We had to take the issue seriously because of the way we had been threatened by the sergeant at the Seventh Precinct, who warned us before our release that if “I returned to my friends, the protesters,” a second arrest would be treated far more seriously: our information would be fed into a federal database, to follow us forever. I recall speaking to him through the cell bars: “But officer, if I checked the law this time in order to obey it and still got arrested, how do I avoid getting arrested again?” He acknowledged that I had not disobeyed the law but pointed out that if police cite “safety concerns,” they can arrest anyone anywhere, no matter what the law says. Of course, nothing we had done — walking peacefully on a sidewalk in single file, not blocking traffic — had posed a safety threat.

They have the right to detain you for 48 hours and stick you in a cell without any cause.

The counter effect to that is you have the right to file a complaint and litigate for harassment and being falsely detained.

We live in a Republic, not a true Democracy. With the erosion of civil liberties under the GOP leadership since Nixon, you should be use to stupid shit like this by now.

We live in a quasi Police State Republic, put on your big boi pants and get use to it, or do something about it, or leave the country.

That is all.

Isn't that park privately owned? Instead of making the city look like a campground reeking of shit, why not hold protest every 48 hours or so? Wouldn't that be a smarter plan? Squatting someplace will never be tolerated past a couple weeks. I thought the majority of progressives were supposed to be smart? I guess common sense is a no show with them!

I agree with Tas

The thing that disturbed me about the eviction was not the eviction itself - but the fact that they were barring news media from covering it. ( I was watching the live streams that did exist )

The Dems are as much a part of the Police State as any sinij. If you want to do something about the Police State you have one credible option: Ron Paul and the Campaign for Liberty movement.

Crackdowns on protesters

Quote:
There was outrage after an 84-year-old Seattle woman was hit by police pepper spray during a march the night before.


Clearly, grandmas are such threat to public safety.

Were you directing that statement at me? If so, why?

Well, you should have used your second amendment when the Patriot Act was signed. But maybe Abdul was too much of a threat to think about freedom.

If you go to these protest and the police tell you to leave and you don't, if you get pepper sprayed it is now your fault. I don't give a fuck if your 180 you know what your getting into and what may happen.

Yeah, I'm sure she was standing there by herself just minding her own business when she got sprayed. What an asinine premiss.
