UPDATE BREAKING UPDATE: On November 25th, 2008 the Hempstead 15 were vindicated by the Justice system of the United States of America. All charges were dropped against the veterans and civilians that were arrested during the Presidential debate. This is a victory for the veterans, the civilians that took place in the protest, for Lady Liberty and the entire USA. Thank you to everyone who has followed this story, for sending your support to the troops, and for calling the Nassau County Police Department and the district attorney. YOU MADE THE DIFFERENCE!
10/15/08: Presidential Debate Unseen "Hidden Microphone" Footage - Police Arrest and Abuse Iraq Veterans Against the War
Nick Morgan gets his face trampled by a police officer's horse...
Produced by Mr. E of www.PIMPINTURTLE.com at the New York Film Academy in association with the Glass Bead Collective
This video is dedicated to every veteran, dead or alive, who has ever been pushed around by a police officer that enjoys abusing his or her power.
Furthermore, this video is dedicated to every veteran, dead or alive, who has fought to protect our liberties. Especially those who have come back to find that their liberties have been extinguished while they fought abroad.
Thank you to Adam Kokesh, Matthis Chiroux , Kristofer Goldsmith, Nick Morgan and the other veterans and civilians at the debate who were willing to risk arrest and their lives to let their voices be heard.
You will be remembered forever.
Why is this injustice not being covered by the mainstream news?
That is for you to decide...
Help out and spread this video virally as fast as possible...
Facebook, MySpace, Email it, send it to everyone...
Do your part to help support the troops...
The Hempstead 15 will be defending themselves in court for charges of disorderly conduct on December 10th and 11th at 9:00 a.m. at the Hempstead Courthouse located at 99 Main St. in Hempstead, New York. Please come out and show your support on these fateful days for these fine individuals.
If police can treat Veterans this way and get away with it, what is to stop them from doing the same to civilians?
I personally believe in the free sharing of all information, video, audio, etc. so feel free to use this footage without proper consent. Credit is cool though.
