And you think this is not a police state? DNC

Apparently, the news crew had set up in front of a hotel, and that hotel called the police because they didn't want them disturbing the guests. The hotel is also claiming that the sidewalk in front of the building, at least part of it closer to the building, is private property.

Sorry to disappoint anyone who thought it was something more sinister.

Though it could be that the hotel owner was in on the conspiracy. LOL.

Don't blame me if there's no voice for liberty opposing McCain and Obama in the Presidential debates. I donated to Ron Paul Libertarian, Bob Barr's campaign.

it took us 20years to wake up from martial law.psychologically,we embraced it at first because our defense minister was "ambushed",we were led to believe everything was getting out of hand. of course, the sophistication of the "soap opera" state apparatus in america is much higher.[im from the philippines,whose dictator was backed by washington-i remember reagan coming here and said in his speech to marcos our dictator "we love your adherence to democratic principles..." 1980s]

but this kind of action by the police, and the upcoming "civilian national police" of obama are the first outright signs.

i hope american citizens will not have to go through what we had gone through. but in the end, after the silencing of dissent,the massacres and the spiralling into 3rd world status by the imf/wb, ordinary citizens openly fought armed soldiers. rosaries, icons of the catholic faith[incidental to the situation only] like statues of the virgin mary, were held onto, flowers were offered, as with food to the soldiers sent to destroy the few military officers who have had enough of the killing. ordinary people against tanks, marine landing craft, sikorsky attack helicopters in the 80s.

you guys are just starting. hear the warnings of those people who were subdued by these machiavellian group of people[the global elite, whoever they are, the police are just pawns] for now, is americas turn. either you all succeed, or be prepared to undergo what washington has been exporting around the world since the 60s

for a preview of what road is open after martial law, pls research the philippine people power 1. feb1986. see how everyone finally got the courage to stand against the military state. how it all ended with little bloodshed.

may you all not have to take it

Is's not just us and Utube. ABC featured footage of this episode on their Evening News today (Thursday 28).

It isn't that often that the MSM shows things like this to the mass audience. They must really have had enough.

I wonder if Americans in general will respond or even realize what they have seen.

This as been going on for as long as police existed. What the cops did here is not justified from what I can tell, but that doesn't make a "police state.

I've been arrested before unjustifiably, and successfully challenged it in court. I just recognize it for what it is, a cop loosing his cool.

I wish they would show the entire clip so that we could see this in the true context. They start the clip right when the police officer seems to be at his wits end. I'd like to judge this knowing all the facts.
