It certainly begs the question; America land of the free?]]>http://www.plime.com/politics/l/41800/1/http://www.plime.com/politics/l/41800/1/politics

« Akstika : Nobody owes you an explanation for why they up or downvote.Maybe it's not required, but it's considerate. It's plime etiquette. It's what makes the community all that much better than Digg.

On top of that, it's also practical. Show the reason why you think the article should be hidden away. If it's a valid reason, perhaps similar incidents can be avoided. If it's just your personal agenda, well, I guess you'd just keep quiet.

As for the video, I wouldn't jump to say we've lost our freedom of assembly. Or sarcastically refer to the "land of the free."
I do say it's an eye opener. More scrutiny should be placed on our police force. Abuse of power should not be tolerated. If they orchestrated the disruption, the officers involved should be discharged, in the least.
I'm curious to see what happened with that one police officer who started the fight. Was there any reprimand?
I understand that after it occurred, the march had to be stopped. It was no longer a peaceful assembly, and while I roll my eyes at the protest, labeling them as b***hing hippies, it does worry me that it was stopped as such.

Gotta say, some cops can be real jerks. Just hard-nosed, arrogant, power-high, pretentious ass holes. Makes life harder for the other police officers who are trying to do their job the best they can.]]>http://www.plime.com/politics/l/41800/1/rss2_0.rss#q4http://www.plime.com/politics/l/41800/1/rss2_0.rss#q4politics « Turtle : Why on earth am I getting a down vote?
