Two women with the press getting arrested at the Capitol Madison,Wl! SHAME!!!!

This woman was being arrested. I didn't see what happened at the beginning but was told she was getting her camera taken away. She was with the press yet they were taking her away. Then cop takes her to the elevator and she ends up being dragged down when he starts going after another woman. He pushes the woman that told me to record, and she wasn't even in the way. He then takes the other woman with a camera into custody. They are both with the press so I don't understand where they have the right to do that.

At 1:42 "Are you okay .. run ..."

Fleeing and eluding. Great advice.

@uploadJ But then they said no don't do that it isn't a good idea.

Alex was detained & given a citation, but is doing okay. She was filming a cop pushing people out of the capitol building when he came after her.

@itaytay77 Glad to hear she is doing ok.

That cop should get a medal!

You filmed this, you can see the second woman (Sam Mayfield) physically interferring, pulling on her assistant. 0:18

That is interferring with an officer in the performance of their duties, it is sufficient cause to arrest her.

And then she tries to take the camera away from her assitant at 1:33 that is further cause to arrest her.

Ms. Mayfield was 100% in the wrong from start to finish.

The 1st ammendment protects NONE of those actions.

@elviolette The girl's press pass is in the 1st Amendment to our Constitution.

Before I jump to any conclusions, what happened before 0:00 to get this girl arrested?

[melvinjc]

I watched the part when he had to go after the 2nd person 10 times with 3 other people who had no idea what it was about (eliminate bias). She was not thrown to the ground. He was trying to apprehend the 2nd person while not letting the 1st one run (which the other ladies were trying to get her to do I might add.) You need to separate the politics from what happened.

@melvinjc so it was ok for the cop to throw/drag her to the ground because backup wasn't there yet? i guess you read what you want to read.

[TheSunsLight]

the cop is too fat to chase a suspect , and to drag her out of the elevator like that is despicable , he was probably tripping over his fat . the 95 % of cowards kike that give the 5 percent of good cops a bad name
