Media ABC News Producer Arrested At DNC
posted by on August 27 at 17:28 PM
An ABC News producer was arrested outside of the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver earlier today while taping a story about lobbyists at the DNC.
A cigar-smoking Denver police sergeant, accompanied by a team of five other officers, first put his hands on Eslocker’s neck, then twisted the producers arm behind him to put on handcuffs.A police official later told lawyers for ABC News that Eslocker is being charged with trespass, interference, and failure to follow a lawful order. He also said the arrest followed a signed complaint from the Brown Palace Hotel.
Eslocker was put in handcuffs and loaded in the back of a police van which headed for a nearby police station. During the arrest, one of the officers can be heard saying to Eslocker, “You’re lucky I didn’t knock the f..k out of you.”

So, Slog:
My money’s on Annie.
Gah, shit warn people the survey takes them to some other website.
Though, wow, cool, I can create free surveys and send them to my friends.
"What should PopTart eat for dinner?"
Totally Annie. I've seen her "Thug Life" tattoo.
Jonah was in no way authorized to put this horrible, horrible poll code on my website. Now that there are already votes in there, and I'm leaving, it'll have to stay for now, despite my near-constant vomiting at the site of it. He has been roundly reprimanded.
That's a really messed up video. To have a cop shove someone into the street and then say, "Now you are impeding traffic," is a blatant misuse of power. And police unions wonder why citizens distrust cops.
“You’re lucky I didn’t knock the f..k out of you.” ????
Goodbye to the republic of the USA. Goodbye rights. Welcome to the police state, where cops do whatever they want, because the central bankers have them effectively brainwashed. And one day, the police state will be coming for you, the suckers who wanted this change to happen, the ones who rooted for it to happen. You are not immune. You are just another insignificant peon to the police state.
Duh, the black guy always gets arrested. Eli and Annie could be throwing rocks at the police while Charles hid behind a Dumpster waving a white flag and STILL the black guy would get arrested. Don't you remember during the Battle in Seattle when a black city councilman was driving up Capital Hill Friday night and the police stopped him, dragged him out of his car and arrested him?
They're not dumb enough to arrest the black guy or the woman. They'll go for the Jew, he looks like he'd be a pushover.
There'll be someone on Denver PD who's read Charles' posts and is just itching to arrest him after that pregnant lady shit.
Clearly the Bush administration was at fault.
If you like Raisinettes(TM), you will like that video. Just a guess.
What is this Casablanca? "I'm shocked. Shocked! That there are lobbyists meeting politicians at a political convention."
I'm not going to feel sorry for a reporter if he was acting like a dick.
#9, uhhhhh, what?
This is America. Always bet on the black man being arrested.
@11
Uhh...Does that go for the Rossi controversy, too? That Democratic cameraman was acting like a little bitch.
@6: last week, you won my heart with your moth comment. and now, with this. thanks.
Clearly Annie is most likely, since she's starving and cold and, therefore, most likely to go postal. Chaz? Too far off in the socialist weeds to get noticed. And KUOW needs Eli too much not to use their enormous cash reserves to keep him undefiled and therefore available to fill the 10:52am slot on Weekday.
Of course it would be Charles. He's black. Duh. What is the relative percentage of the black population in prison right now? That isn't just coincidence, you know.
And his Leninist philosophical rants will sail so far over the cops heads. It will do him no good whatsoever.
I'm surprised he doesn't get arrested a couple times a year, just because.
PopTart @1... It's a little late for dinner, but try this some time:
Make your normal meatloaf meat wad, press it out square, layer corned beef & swiss on it, roll up and cook normally (draining as necessary).

Totally off track but I just realized how upsetting it is that one of the biggest political functions in the U.S. is held in a place called Pepsi Center. It's right up ther with stormtroopers protecting us from news men.
They're not dumb enough to arrest the black guy or the woman
Wanna bet? Never underestimate the stupidity or racist-ness of pigs. 6, 13 & 17 have it right. Along with 65% in the poll...
Clearly, Muddy Muede will be the one arrested - for felony penmanship.
I for one am glad this happened to the ABC reporter.
They have spent the last eight years helping usher in this mindset by constantly cheer leading for the bush totalitarian way of government. I am glad they are getting a chance at seeing how well its working out first hand.
