Laws applied unequally to any citizens are deemed illegal and any attempt for an authority to enforce said law should be fought by legal and physical means.

I respect most police officers but they are starting to become a goon squad for the government. Blindly following orders excuse did not save the Nazis from prosecution and it wont save you here.

they haven't done anything wrong. why should they give in to being harassed by the police? they didn't even have an arrest warrant(or a warrant with the proper address on it). they said they were "detaining" them. that means they don't have any evidence of illegal activity. its obvious they are retaliating because they proved officers were lying under oath and got 400 people acquitted with video evidence.

@specialj007 Yes you are right! People in the ACLU & other types of groups should back the 2nd Amendment but dont! The law is after the fact! The crime is done! Cops are just going to walk away after getting what they wanted! Remember what happened after Katrina! It can happen anywhere!

Thank God video cameras are still allowed. May not last very long.

I bet these people are anti gun rights! Only the police should have firearms? Hope this makes you think about that! And the girl in the yellow dress has nice big boobs! YUM YUM!

These people should actaully thank these police officers and the state of minnisota because of all the laws that the police are breaking in this video and the rights they are violating in this video. What I hope these people did right after this happened was sue the shit out of the St.Paul police department, the city of St.Paul and the State of Minnisota for hundreds of thousands of dollars for all the civil rights and criminal violations that the police are enacting in this.

I am glad that I am not a policeman or ever had been one becase of all the innocent people put in jail that is now out and all the drug arrests that are out and all the brutality that the police have committed & hurt many other people by lying and putting them in jail there must be millions of very angry people when shit hits the fan they will hunt police down like a dog with rabies and cut his head off and put it a pole police and armed and retarded they R cowards

[frenchie1936]

I really hated cops to start with, but this pushed me over the edge. This is no longer the land of the free. We must still remain brave however and not let these ass clowns take any more of our civil liberties away. I can't believe that the St. Paul police blindly went along with this. For the sake of freedom and liberty everywhere, all the policeman and federal authorities who participated in and authorized this farse should be given jail sentences for unlawful detainment, kidnapping, B & E etc

[cljdiggy]

cops suck this is bullshit 

[MrSpeakingrock]

This is the result of big government, which these people typically love. Let's get back to small government and the libertarian ideals of the Constitution. We have to shrink government if we want to get back on track. The people need to take back control.
