Dr. James Hansen, Appalachian residents and retired coal miners arrested calling for abolition of mountaintop mining and immediate veto of Spruce mine project

WASHINGTON DC —More than 100 people were arrested today during Appalachia Rising, the largest national protest to end mountaintop removal (MTR) coal mining. Arrests included Appalachian residents; retired coal miners; renowned climate scientist, James Hansen; and faith leaders. After a march from Freedom Plaza and a rally at Lafayette Park, more than 100 stage a sit-in in front of the White House to demand President Obama follow his own science and end mountaintop mining. The likely charge is obstruction.

  • We felt it was crucial to get this video posted quickly, there is another coming today which will show far more of the events of the day. Years of indymedia experience and filming around convergences has taught that police abuses, when documented, must be shown for what they are in a timely manner.

  • @Rarnabybudge If it was Canada the mounties would just run your ass over in a horse, and then proceed to shoot you. People joke but mounties are no bs.

  • @JoelHealy1985 Its called weapon retention. Look it up. People like to grab cop's guns, just to be dicks.

  • @coalstories Thats funny, I didn't see any abuse. I saw the police doing what they are supposed to do in a professional manner.

  • so where is the police brutality? all I see is resisting arrest and assault on a police officer.

  • Protestors protesting the removal of protestors... lol
