Occupy LA - Los Angeles Protester is arrested and thrown to the ground by LAPD on 11-29-2011

http://www.DalaiLamaFilm.com - LAPD Police officer arrests a peaceful protester during the police raid on the Occupy Los Angeles protest camp. My film office was 4 blocks away from the Occupy LA camp, and when I heard the news that the LAPD was sending in almost 2,000 police officers to evict the protesters, I felt compelled to grab my camera gear and experience and film what I could, since it felt like a historic moment. What began at Occupy Wall Street, is spreading around the country.

I just finished uploading the 27 minute mini documentary in HD to Youtube about what my eyes and camera saw on Nov 11, 2011 during the Occupy LA protests and LAPD arrest... Thank you for sharing it with others (See the video response that I posted to this video, or find it in my Youtube page).

Hello Everyone... I am finished editing a 27 minute mini documentary using the footage that I shot the night of the Occupy LA eviction, protests and arrests. I will upload the Occupy LA mini documentary and share it as soon as I can, and will post a link to it here. I want to share what my camera and eyes saw with everyone who could not be there.

It is a big myth that officers have to "read you your rights" before arresting you. That's not true. Miranda rights must be issued only when legal authorities intend to question or interrogate you about a crime. The fact is that these people were issued orders to disperse several times...up to an including 48+ hours prior. Well over half of the people who were there at the camp had long left 2 days prior when the initial order was issued. He knew exactly why he was being arrested.

@marianharmon thanks for sharing your thoughts. I think that an important question is do police have the right to arbitrarily restrict free assembly and expression of free speech, as long as it is done so legally according to statute. Arbitrary subjective decisions about what is lawful or permitted, can lead to abuse and an unconstitutional suppression of rights.

they had to leave, they didnt so ......

He deserved it. 

[Khashyar]

@Conekillah I don't know of anyone who is protesting peacefully, or resisting peacefully, deserves to be thrown hard against the ground. There must have been another way to arrest him, if that was the police officer's choice.

@Conekillah I hope a cop puts your ignorant ass into the pavement.

@TortillaGirl Why are you defending people that need to learn what the word apathy means.

I am proud to be an American and be an Occupy member. We are the 99%

Tell me my rights. What's the charge. Lol fucking idiot. Gosh I just wanna punch him in the face. He doesn't need to read u Miranda rights. U can be arrested and not be questioned retard. If you really knew the law like some of these protestors claim to know ( somehow they all have law degrees) ur rights would only apply with two circumstances. One right is to shut the fuck up.

[Mafia885]

police doesn't have to read your rights as soon as they arrest you. It's anytime before you are being interrogated. If you're going to be a protester and start shit make sure you know the basics of the law too.

[breakerbar1]

stupid fuck with bigass mouth.. "What is my charge and read me my rights!" How about SHUT THE FUCK UP AND STOP BEING SO STUPID..

[VinceLA91]

Cop was right in doing what he did. If the cop wanted to he could of slammed the man on the ground but he didn't, that show great restraint

[buffalowingmediabias]

To the person who recorded and posted this, why don't you have the guts to show the whole incident instead of conveniently editing from the point where he gets thrown to the ground. I have been to these kind of protests, the police always give ample warning, so much so that people get comfortable and start taunting them, and when the cops act, the people turn around and act like victims. By the way, it's funny to see in LA minority cops arrest a white guy and then the white guy cries foul. LOL

[AmericanBadass44]

@p91fun Listen buddy, why don't you go down to your local Occupy shindig (unless it doesn't exist or the police shut it down) and rape a couple of girls. I hear you guys are into that shit.

[pelirojo0037]

The admonition of Miranda has nothing to do with an arrest or a use of force against the person being arrested. The cop slammed the guy because the law allows the police to use force that is objectively reasonable to overcome the resistance of the arrestee. If the guy didnt want to be slammed he should have submitted to the arrest, got his little ticket for the protest and jumpped back into it.
