Lauren Wasson, 23, of Garfield, was charged with obstruction of highways and aggravated assault after she allegedly threw her bicycle at Officer Shawn Dady, striking Officer Dady with it." Lauren was simply trying to slow down a moment so that another pedestrian could move out of her path. A slideshow is available that clearly shows the women falling into Lauren's path and the officers continuing to shove her despite the fact she was simply waiting for the women to move aside. Let's get as many signatures as we can and send them to Governor Edward Rendell demanding Lauren's clemency!


Let's get as many names on this as we can, pass it round to other forums, to friends and who ever you think might be interested. It's about time these nazi pigs learn that they can't push people around. Especially when they're trying to get out of the way!!

Power to the PEOPLE!

She threw her bike at a cop. End of story.

If it were a cop throwing his bike at a citizen your argument would be switched.

Riding bikes on the sidewalk is against the law in my Province.

Past demonstrations at these types of summits have ended with same outcome. Knowing that police will be geared to the max in SWAT would be big bells and whistles her for me to stay home.

Personally. I don't believe it smart that she did that. But I saw the video before this article. She wasn't acting on a logical basis, she was pissed off because the officer was pushing her even though she was trying to leave.

But I think she already got equal treatment after she got hit in the head with a baton.

You've got to be kidding. Look at the poli-cee enforcer (the one in the middle) push her in the back, what would you do? Her head jolts back with force and she has every right to be pissed off.

I admire her instinctive fire.

What about unconstitutional enforcement, lack of civility, and use of LRAD's and tear gas.

Obviously the link in the OP does not show what a video does. Goes to show that stills of photos never tell the whole story. That is what I went on.

I removed my petulant remark to the orificer but it does amaze me how people can condone such brute force of ramming batons in peoples backs. There is definitely a dichotomy of opinion here on ATS, regarding acceptable levels of enforcement.

I guess i live in cuckoo land, where i'd expect a bit more civility from police, especially when she is making her way down the street with everyone else; it's just unfortunate she's at the back and the poli-cee enforcers are itching for a confrontation.

I need to buy a pair of rose-tinted glasses. Have you got a spare pair amongst your stash?

Personally.. I don't think she deserves to be charged. Not because she did nothing wrong.

But rather because she got hit in the head with a baton. That tends to teach you a few lessons.

Im not saying the cop pushing her was ok. But we still do not know the whole store of what led up to this.


It's not rocket science to see that the brown-shirts are just power tripping. What story could there possibly be? A picture paints a thousand words.

It's ironic, but the first cop pushes her whilst she's on her bike, but she gets blocked by people in front, then the knob-head second cop pushes her as she gets off her bike and she thought it was the same cop pushing her again but with more force, causing her to understandably flip out as she had nowhere to go.
