Uhg :(

GJ getting away with the footage BTW, glad your camera wasn't taken.

@benjaminbartholomew Thanks. I don't like threats of my property being taken. I decided to walk out to make sure my phone wasn't taken and made sure someone else there had it in case they decided to walk around and grab, which they did.

I wasn't aware that Americans are required to carry papers authorizing them to be out in public.

Glad the footage made it out without being stolen or deleted.

Also, to those who are posting, obviously against these people for whatever reason:

If you want to take the side of the police, that's fine.

Just keep in mind that these people didn't hurt anyone, and the cops did. As long as you keep that in mind while you're chiding and laughing about these people being arrested, I'm OK with you believing whatever you want. It's a free country, after all. Oh, wait... It's not.

Most people that disagree with these videos will say something along the lines of "stop being a dick". Keep in mind, these people are upset for a legitimate reason. Some people tell me that these are very light punishments and you should overlook them, but if there's a group of men screaming obscene comments verse a group of people expressing their constitutional liberties directly to an officer, the officer will (hopefully) think about his job and life and not harm people when he's not scared.

@NoDeity WHAT!!! YOU'RE STUPID ENOUGH TO THINK YOU CAN GO INTO A PUBLIC PLACE WITHOUT A GOVERNMENT PERMISSION SLIP!!!! THAT'S DANGEROUS THINKING!!!!.......lol sarcasm of course

[ohannahdad]

For those who comment against the protesters, that's OK. You have a right to express you opinion. The point is....... this is; in part, what the protesters are defending. Not What anyone is protesting, but the right of everyone to protest. Ask yourself: Why do police arrest people for not carrying ID when the LAW clearly states you dont have to? Why are cops afraid of being video taped? They tape you. Are they ashamed, and afraid because they know they are breaking the law? Use ur common sense
