1)Do you think ABC news is gonna stop kissing Barrack Obama's posterior long enough to take notice of this?
2)If they do they will fire the reporter for potentially embarassing their messiah at his asscention to the throne.
A cigar-smoking Denver police sergeant, accompanied by a team of five other officers, first put his hands on Eslocker's neck, then twisted the producer's arm behind him to put on handcuffs.
A police official later told lawyers for ABC News that Eslocker is being charged with trespass, interference, and failure to follow a lawful order. He also said the arrest followed a signed complaint from the Brown Palace Hotel.

It's either been taken down off the site, or something cause I can't see it, I click on the link in the article, I get nothing, no popup, nothing.

Is it increasing or is it because everyone carries cell phones and camcorders now? I don't really know but I suspect as much.

What I'm about is this misrepresentation of all cops being bad...

If you consider the number of towns, police forces and the population, even though it seems like lots of cases; they are rare.

I also imagine what it would be like without police? Think about it.

Also think honestly about the people you know who often have encounters with the police. They deserve it don't they.

When I was young, I was not a good person...
...The truth is that most people go their entire lives without ever being in a fight, being arrested or even having to look over their shoulder for cops.

This is common. This is normal. This happens everyday. That is the state of the nation you live in. The press is censored and controlled. People get disappeared. You may of thought things like controlled media was restricted to Russia or China but it is just the same here as it is there. And that is now the way of things. If you get out of line the police will take you out. They will not face charges. They being of law enforcement are ABOVE the law.
Has that sunk in yet? They can beat you , mace you , and Taze you, and then you will be charged with resisting arrest and assault on a police officer. Then the news media will report it as though it is all your fault and that you are in the wrong. Because the police can do no wrong. Not even when they arrest the news media.
Their is no resistance. I see nobody fight back or organizing citizen patrols. When I watch people terrorized by police misconduct I normally see a whole bunch of people screaming and swearing but I never see anyone stand up to the cops and force them down as they force others down. I only see normal everyday police state business.

All I can say is watch this video of your friendly Denver police.
www.youtube.com...
These cops slam this guys face into the street, breaking his teeth then lie in court. They charge the victim with 2nd degree assault.... UNTIL AN UNKNOWN VIDEO taken by a TV news crew shows what really happened.

Unless I hear something reasonable, I'll be taking my business elsewhere. (I stay there all of the time, and frankly always thought that hotel was over-rated and rather tired looking. Now I have a more substantive reason to change.)

Could you imagine the exposure to slip and fall cases during the Winter?
No. I think you'll find the city repairs that sidewalk.
