[Vision2020] Freedom of the Press in Denver..NOT!!!

[Kai Eiselein]

Donovan, this is just the latest incident of a problem that has been increasing. In many instances, police cite "homeland security" as the reason for their actions.
If you wish, I can list several instances of not just the press, but members of the public who have been harrassed, and/or detained for engaging in activities protected by the Constitution.
BTW, Kia is the brand name of a car. ;)

Kia,
 
So one police officer arresting one reporter in Denver constitutes an end to freedom of speech?
 
We weren't there, so we don't know the entire circumstances, and considering this is the only incident on record--I imagine it isn't representative of what is going in Denver. 
 
Best Regards,

So the whole city of Denver is private property while the convention is in town, Donovan?The reporter was on a public sidewalk, was pushed into and across the street by a cop before being "arrested".The cameraman was told to stop filming while the reporter was being "arrested". THAT is an unawful order.Thankfully he/she didn't stop recording.With very few exceptions a photographer may shoot anything that is in view of public property, people, buildings, cars...even the police.
