We have a good friend who works for a local citizens' review board of the police force. It's a classic cop move to be a bit rough when they first grab you. It's a natural reaction to pull back, twist, or otherwise react.

Bingo! Now they add "Resisting Arrest."

i made the mistake of responding to a troll on the economist about this very subject.

while it was an utterly worthless exchange, i did realize they seriously - seriously - think gaffey joe is stupid - and far worse - their randian cheese-bagger teatard is smarter than average.

i have yet to see the evidence of the latter and as for the former, they have absolutely no idea what they're in for.

(rubs hands in glee).

On a least a semi-serious note, on what grounds did the police remove those people? What law was broken? What crime did they commit?

Somehow, in Iowa, does Rep. Paul Ryan have the right to speak and they don't? It's obviously a political event. The whole right wing meme is that everyone has "political free speech" - including corporations, Super PACs and non-profits that just happen to spend all their money on campaigns, even though they aren't supposed to.

Why can't those people ask questions?
