Orlando Food Not Bombs Arrests June 22 2011

http://4dpictures.tv Here's the unedited footage of the arrests of Orlando Food Not Bombs members Allison Estes and Doug Coleman on 6/22/11. You wouldn't have seen this news on any of the mainstream media outlets in Orlando (looking at you local TV stations and Orlando Sentinel) because the Orlando Weekly and myself were the only ones there covering it. Unfortunately I didn't get there in time to film the arrest of Keith McHenry that day for trespassing in a public park. Yes, you read that right, trespassing in a public park.

What was the crime? I want exact details, not ignorant responses against police officers

@Michael117american As I've explained in several posts on this page, they were arrested for violating Orlando's Large Group Feeding ordinance which makes it a crime to feed more than 24 people at a time.

How can anyone trespass a PUBLIC park that's open for EVERYONE to go through? This is messed up logic by the police there. All these people are doing is helping the homeless by feeding them! They're not like vandalizing, mugging people or doing anything that's a crime to be arrested for!

@NovaNeko87 They are being arrested for violating Orlando's Large Group Feeding ordinance which makes it a crime to feed more than 24 people at a time. The police are following orders from City Hall, not logic. You can call the Mayor of Orlando's office at 407-246-2221 and let him know what you think of having people arrested for feeding the hungry. Thanks for watching and please share this and my other videos on the subject.

@4DPictures Oh, okay. Why are they limiting to 24 people to feed? It's a pretty strange reason to punish someone for that.

[4DPictures]

@NovaNeko87 The idea behind the creation of the law was to get Food Not Bombs and the homeless and working poor people they feed out of downtown and "out of sight out of mind". Watch some of the other videos on my channel and you'll get more background on this story. Thanks for watching.

In Africa people are dying of hunger and here police are arresting people for feeding the hungry, God help us all

[profreewill]

The cops are Nazi, not going Godwins Law on this but these cops are criminals.

arsehole PIGS !

This is the so-called free country that we live in. Idiot cops just doing what they're told by the corporate government. As long as cops continue to follow unconstitutional orders, same as military members, than we will keep having this police state. There are tens of millions of "us" and not that many of them. Like Jim Morrison said, "they got the guns but...we got the numbers. Gonna win, yeah we're...TAKIN' OVER!"

[grannyj3]

What about the seat belt law? I didn't see the police officers put seat belts on the "prisoners."

[wellspout]

feeding the hungry free threatens capitalists and their uniformed dobermans do the dirty work. but in reality, hunger produces instability, so food not bombs is coalescing democracy, whilst the corpulent corporatists are sowing anarchy

[missorangepark]

That is messed up.

[4ulefties]

Yea maybe if you they give some money to the pigs they just might leave them alone.

[afatsantos]

stupid cops. they ain't do something wrong. not even shouted or yelled at the cops. they just give food for free. stupid cops and stupid laws for arresting them.
