Funny, I thought incarcerating criminals was the responsibility of the judiciary as opposed to the President. Sounds more like a ‘police state’ if you say the President locks them up though right?[/quote]
I am not sure if you are equating this to Obama locking up people , I would think even if you were a very pro civil liberties person , you would still have to crack heads of your underlings to make sure they represented your policies.
We have never had a President , that ran on a platform of civil liberties. I personally think it is high time :)[/quote]
I know it must be tough over there. I mean you can’t even dance inside the Jefferson memorial. It must be like living in Nazi Germany only with liberals, minorities and elections and stuff.[/quote]
I assume ,you are being sarcastic , it is hard to tell, there are so many people incapable of rational thought .
Going on the assumption that you are , I would agree , it is no real loss of major liberty, but what was the point. of arresting those people , as I recall we have the right to PEACEFUL
assembly. I am not sure , but I guess these people are trying to inform you and I that we have cops at this memorial that do not grasp the concept of public service , there is a fine line to good police service and being and being LORD POLICE[/quote]
The law’s the law. Not only did they break it but they broke it with the intention of being arrested then resisted arrest so they could make the cops look bad and whinge about alleged infringements of their liberties. The right to peaceful assembly is not a ticket to be an arsehole. You can’t hold a peaceful assembly inside a fire station, in an ER room, inside a nuclear facility or any other number of places that have restrictions on public access. This is not a breach of peoples’ rights it’s common sense.
Someone made the decision that those who enter the Jefferson memorial have to maintain a reverential atmosphere. Whether you agree with this decision or not is neither here nor there. It’s law, it’s not a breach of anything and cops will rightly arrest you if you break that law.[/quote]
So if someone would have tackled Rosa Parks and ground her face into the floor everything would have been allright?[/quote]
Did Rosa Parks go inside a fire station, an ER room, a nuclear facility or the Jefferson memorial, start dancing like an idiot then resist arrest while her friends filmed it? No. She was drawing attention to a law that ACTUALLY breaches peoples’ civil liberties and she did it without a load of provocative bullshit and not only did she not resist arrest, she cooperated with the Police in every way.[/quote]
So the law is the law unless you think it isnt?
