[RisciLove22]

And the cameras still rolling.Smh

[hohoho4074]

sk8 on popo can kiss my big wight ass

[johnnymasters]

fuck the police

[Piscivorus]

Ya well, unlike the old days, people need to start fighting back against militant police force and brutality. Cops should not be special class citizens. They should not have the right to use violence to execute arrests and infringe on people's right when people haven't committed any violent crimes.

[RHopkins6]

not like the old days... the old days.. EVRYBODY BE GETTIN SENT TO JAIL. witha coupla billy clubs to da head

[mb2533]

The fact that this idiot says he is a minister means nothing to me. Jesus allowed himself to be brought before Pilate and said nothing in His defense. He willing went to the cross..my point is this; If this so called minister is such a man of God, why fight? Why not be a martyr?

[Atlmusician]

@mb2533 I know this is 2 years late, but he wasn't arrested for being a preacher, He simply asked to see the congressman like everybody else and they stopped him from going in. he waited like everybody else he just want to know why they decided to stop him and him only, they didnt know he was a minister until after they put him on the ground and the lady in the crowd said that's what he was. I AM A PASTOR, YOUR COMMENT WAS OUT OF CONTEXT.

[aaronbobaron]

@mb2533 Jesus had to be crucified in order to redeem the rest of mankind. If he hadn't, none of the New Testament would have any meaning. (Not that I believe it does, as I'm an atheist.) God specifically sent Jesus to be crucified to absolve man of original sin.

[jozimba]

Are you retarded Michaelbos? Or are you from Boston? The man is a real minister. Your were probably molested by your priest that's why you have such a disdain for religious persons.

[PASTORSINALOT1]

AMAN!!!

[95civicdxxx]

you are for detaining dissenting Americans?! This isn't NAZI germany, or is it?? You'd like to see us go that route, wouldn't you?! so you can have your way and no way else, fascist!

[PASTORSINALOT1]

Y HE HAD TO BE PHONEY?

[sarasf78]

r we to the point farting is disorderly conduct fuck those pigdemons they all need to fry

[soulsoup1234]

Forget the leg .. you can very easily strangle yourself with handcuffs. I don't know how, but a woman did in Arizona. Handcuffs and wheelchairs are very dangerous. I hope the Rev makes it out alive.

[masclatin]

fuck the police to quote nwa

[sancheej]

What a faker...

[PASTORSINALOT1]

Y HE GOT TO B A FAKER

[antonyfamous]

the unjust war and mass murder of innocent people for political and financial gain is causing not just americans but the world to react against thier policy arrest bush not rev

land of the free = FAIL

[rckbttm14]

winner239 do u understand the police were formed to capture run away slaves at the time they were called citizens patrols...so knowing that slavery is illegal hence any institution com'n from that illegal act is also illegal and is still illegal to this day.only people posturing are the pigs, are we watching the same video

[rckbttm14]

winner239 says he didn't follow orders there's only two things in this world that gives orders and police aren't one of them. police are illegal and have been since their establishment

[winner239]

Then what you're implying is that yearwood is not acting like a street thug and that yearwood is legally right to protest police officers from establishing safe conduct within a courthouse. If so, then you have the presence of mind to a criminal.

[rckbttm14]

[winner239]

Understand that slaves understood more about social presence then that of those who call themselves sons of African Americans slaves. This type of social disharmony between whites and blacks happens only in America. It has nothing to do with law and order.

[WelcomeToMyDream]

Strange that you watch a video where a silent peaceful man waiting in line is removed without cause and call that "establishing safe conduct within a courthouse". When it is you being detained without cause I wonder if you will protest? Hopefully enough Americans stand up for our rights to offset the sheep that don't know or care, if the US isn't free what chance does the world have?

[NaciremaDream1787]

Sheriff is the highest constitutional officer of the land....

[NaciremaDream1787]

winner239... show me proof that Police are not agents of a foreign municipality domiciled in Washington D.C. ... I'd be happy for you to show what lawful authority police have...... Legal is not lawful... what they was legal (commerce)... but unlawful in america.

[winner239]

Lets examine the person detained. Probably a first born, a dominator,self assertive but active with resentfulness. A delinquent with the desire to control his environment and most likely physically or mentaly defective.

[NaciremaDream1787]

PhantomAssassin seemingly thinks that one must be licensed to spread the word of god... defeating, the entire purpose in itself..... If you spread the good word of the lord... you are a minister... fool

[StuMas]

Sue the police & the city

[TheEvilDetector]

US is a fascist state. Man gets jumped on and injured and he wasnt a threat to anyone. Woman gets pushed out and she just has a dissenting opinion and nothing more. Fascism , plain and simple.

[winner239]

These people who suck up freedom for free have nothing better to do but malinger the street. There should be an ordinance making people have a job and at least 20 dollars in there pocket to demonstrate.

[honson5000]

The Cops are just a bunch of cowards who like to abuse the helpless.

[jshersch2]

The police "said" that he jumped the line?!?!?! There is video of him trying to do that!!

[clariffic1]

torn ligaments. you can see his left foot is pointed after they sit him up. that is not a natural postion...I am glad it was not broken bone. Can you believe it was because the cops stated he jumped the line?

[PhantamAssasin]

Police state? Try living in a Muslim country. Especially women. No thanks. I'll take U.S.A. As for the good "Reverend", how convenient he has a camera man following him. He showed up to disrupt the proceedings and draw attention to himself. Hope they sent his ass to Gitmo. :-)

[xXxWritersWingsxXx]

He was there partly for an interview, silly. OF COURSE he had cameras with him. Duh. Do some research before you make assumptions..

As for the rest of what you said..I'm not going there. I'm just glad that a huge percentage of the population believe (if only secretly) that this country's taken a turn for the worst. And yes, the poll numbers from the media said so.

[cjfriz]

The gall of police officers to charge this man with assaulting a police officer when he was literally mobbed and beaten to the ground, to the point where he broke his ankle--that's the very definition of injustice. What a county!

[timmylee4699]

By the looks on their faces the police officers know that they have just screwed up.

[asdffd]

I was just thinking the same thing. That cop with the tats has a demeanor of, "We really fucked up this time. And that douchebag with the camera has recorded it all." LOL! I hope the good Reverend sues the shit out of all of them. Put me on that jury and the Reverend will be an instant millionaire. This shit is outrageous!

[pmpscheduler]

I agree. Will this one make the news? See how long it takes before it gets out there.

Be very afraid. How distasteful to say we have a democracy. The police look like "dorks" who had stupid written on their foreheads. Who is his representative? This is embarassing to say the least that such was allowed on an American citizen, a minister at that.

[PhantamAssasin]

pmpshcheduler: minister my ass. Anyone can slap on a white collar. I've yet to hear the "good reverend" Sharpton even utter the name of Jesus Christ, nor Jesse Jackson for that matter. It's a scam to get insant "credability". Hell, I can become a minister online for a few bucks.

[AnotherHappyLiberal]

What gives a representative of the US Government the right to prevent a citizen from entering a hearing room where his employees, our representatives, are about to hold a hearing?

[4951WEDDEL]

If you watch the first video, he clearly lunged for the hearing room door as officers were attempting to escort him from the doorway. It was his actions that prompted their response.

[Hamasi]

Looks like he was pushed to me while all the officers surrounding him jumped on him at once. Excessive violence no matter how you look at it. You're feeble statement conveniently ignores the fact that he shouldn't have been stopped to begin with.

[AnotherHappyLiberal]

He did not. He stopped moving when he was told he was under arrest as he cried "For what?" and they tackled him.

[socking1]

Yah, but good luck trying to point out the obvious. This thread is gonna be stacked with morons...

[nativeokie]

Sorry someone mentioned a twisted ankle. Not sure you are all aware but his leg is broken.

Contact speaker Pelosi and don't let her staff give you that crap about her not running that police force. She is the speaker of the house and this happened on her turf. She needs to do something other than bang the gavel and act like she is leading. It is time for her to lead.

[nativeokie]

The good revered is also an Air Force Reservist. So now the Capital police have attacked a minister and a veteran. All that is missing from this picture are some brown shirts and men in black jack boots.

[bootpdx]

Watch part 1. Once there were many officers around him, he lunged towards the door. Never lunge in the direction of an officer, especially when they are looking for a reason to arrest you. The hero is the Reverend. The cowards are all the people who walked right by and didn't challenge the officers. Had I been in line in front of him, I would have vouched for him and challenged the officers reasoning.

[clariffic1]

Once you raise your voice the silent majority quiets you. VOTE in '08!

Does any1 no how d Rev. is doing now? Follow up?

[MikaelMN]

updates on After Downing Street about the Rev...

[Pennee101]

I wonder who is going to have to pay the hospital bill. I doubt the DC police will offer.

[Hsaive]

I was going up to protest the war on Saturday but I canceled out after seeing this. Scare the shit out of me.

[MikaelMN]

You aren't willing to risk a turned ankle to save your country?

[IreneH55]

Be advised. Troops are being deployed to DC under Operation Noble Eagle, just in time for the protests. We are living in a police state now, most people just don't recognize it. Free speech zones, arrest for T-shirts and bumper stickers, FEAR, FEAR, FEAR!!

[winner239]

You know why? because crime and criminal minded people are at their highest since 1969. Fear is not having a police state, it's having violent population that comes from those who are nameless,faceless stranger.

[rckbttm14]

u stupid MF's the pigs keep touching him even before he tell them to stop u can clearly see they were planning to do this...shoot them pigs in the head and take the badge, then they will stop aggitating situations. starting with the police count how many times they touch(assaulted) him before he fought back. if he had been doing that to them could you imagine their response.phuck them kill them whenever and however possible

[winner239]

You mindless piece of dirt. Are you train as a police officer. Do you have a badge,u dodo? Probable cause, raise your hands above your waist. Debate a verbal command with an appointed official. Refuse/resist to comply to a direct order. And the list of offenses is long.

[rckbttm14]

thats just how stupid white americans view this situation how can you name offenses when he was standing in line minding his business, waiting like everyone else to go inside. we have a right to be secure in our person its a constitutional right ohh thats right white people so stupid they let jews assimilate now can't tell the diff & that has done away with the constitution. u can't sue for constitutional violations unless its high profile. cop

[winner239]

Do you know the meaning of posture? and what in the f do's a jew has to do with this you racist.

[vinnycolletti]

He was refused entrance to a public hearing after waiting on line. He practiced civil disobedience and peacefully refused arrest.

I can't believe it- They beat the hell out of this Minister then the miserable bastards stuff him in the wheel chair like that? I'm an xray tech in a hospital-no way I'd let them stuff any person with a possible fracture into a wheelchair while they were handcuffed behind their back-never mind a reverend who was not putting up a fight to begin with. Inhuman Savages!

[stoptheillegals]

What happened? why was he arrested? Why was he there?

[KDANTEATER]

Watch first clip, stoptheillegals.

[stoptheillegals]

I was surprised at the way the police officer moved his broken leg around. Also a wheel chair instead of a flat board or gurney is not what you would expect from medical professionals.

[Pennee101]

He had a button on that said: "I love the Iraqi people" Apparently you are not allowed to care for a country that the US has attacked.

[freesouljah]

despicable...

[HalliburtonChenney]

whats outrageous is the medical bill they will charge him with. So where are the DEMS? Oh yeah, barring people from public hearings.

[theprits]

This is absolutely outrageous!!
