Slog - Comments on ABC News Producer Arrested At DNC http://slog.thestranger.com/2008/08/abc_news_producer_arrested_at_dnc_1 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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

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).

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.

  2. Time in custody at the arrest site
  3. Denial of attorney access at Temporary Arrestee Processing Site (TAPS)
  4. Time in Custody at TAPS
  5. Conditions of confinement at TAPS
  6. Misinformation provided to arrestees at TAPS
  7. Conditions of confinement at the City and County Building
  8. Attorney-client visits denied at City and County Building
  9. The City did not tell ACLU and PLP attorneys about arrestees at PADF
  10. Arrestees may have entered unknowing and involuntary guilty pleas
  11. The City must correct these problems immediately
