Amendments

These Are Our Rights

An ABC reporter was arrested in Denver, Colorado after a police officer violates his first amendment rights. The officer also indangers the mans life in the process as he forces the man through a city street.

The 1st Amendment

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.

People need to brush up on their law as well as their research into what really happened with these videos. This short 54sec 
clip does not give the whole story, guaranteed. Maybe if people were not so quick to judge, we wouldn't have such hate towards police. 
Bottom line, these people protect us and they should be praised for it not given a bad name. Policing is different than it was even 15 years ago. 
Policing has changed and peoples negative attitudes need to change as well.

@shanejpt "The cop can remove you from property that is not yours without arresting you, they do it all the time and its not that big of a deal."

They can tell you to leave... absolutely. And if you refuse, they can arrest you. However they absolutely can not PHYSICALLY ASSULT YOU. If the 
man was not under arrest there was no reason for the officer to lay a hand on him. If the man refused to move, place him under arrest. If he RESIST arrest, 
then the officer may use reasonable force.
