Nah couldn’t possibly happen. Republicans want only the truth to be heard and she was only recording their words … what could possibly be wrong with that ?? This is obviously something that’s been made up to embarrass the Georgia Republican Party. And the very idea of a policeman coercing a reporter and failing to identify himself just can’t possibly be true. This is Amerika isn’t it ?? I’m shocked, truly shocked.

This is very very disturbing. It’s incredibly wicked and rude behavior to grab a woman like that and push her around and not identify yourself and pay no heed to her as she tells you she was given permission by the property owners to be there and film.
Tacky, evil bastards.

They just didn’t want the portion of the event where they dawn white hoods and burn a cross on film.

Suspect: “Stop, you’re hurting me.”
Officer: “All you have to do is be still.”

So in Georgia it’s OK to bring your guns anywhere, but you’ll get arrested for bringing a video camera to a public event. I see … said the blindman.

Dochha know that in Georgia the Second Amendment trumps the First. If she came armed with a gun, instead of a video recorder, there would have been no problem . . .

If this is standard procedure, we need to drastically change standard procedure. What is happening in America today? This guy was cleared?

It’s happening all over. In Montana, the executive director of the Democratic Party used a poster board to block the lens of the America Rising tracker trying to video record Amanda Curtis at an event on the campus of the University of Montana. http://missoulian.com/news/local/senate-candidate-curtis-outlines-plans-to-improve-education-for-students/article_cd8ced2a-2f0f-11e4-a78b-0019bb2963f4.html

hmmmm this will be interesting to follow as it reaches the courts. I hope that she does not have to file anything in Federal Court, that it is settled in state court.
