After 24 hours, the police let the protesters go without any charges having been officially filed.

Exactly. Remember who your first targets are if a revolution comes. The police are NOT your friends.

File a lawsuit, a large one.

Then be on the overpass this coming Saturday.

But it is OK for the anti wall street people to pollute parks, spray paint buildings, destroy property without a real message.

Although it shouldn’t make any difference, the way protesters look DOES matter. A neatly dressed and groomed protester would have made a better impression on passersby than the guy (probably a great fellow) with a scraggly beard and super casual clothes. We want viewers to listen to us, identify with us, and, hopefully, agree with us. This ain’t Duck Dynasty.

Standard in California; anyone interacting with cars below on an overpass is told to move on, typically officers cite the person as being a distraction to traffic as their reasoning. Pretty sure a whole lot of Ron Paul supporters can give tips on this one...

This is how it starts. One man is arrested ILLEGALLY. Thrown in jail for NO REASON. Released with NO CHARGES.

NEXT time, it gets ramped up and somebody gets hurt. After that, all bets are off.

Released with no charges filed. The “distraction” argument is bogus. Animated billboards are real distractions. Legal distractions, though they are.

But, freedom to assemble and demand redress? Now THERE’S a distraction.

Do I need the /s?

You don't deserve freedom, if appearances matter that much to you.

They should sue for false arrest and civil rights violations. Every officer should be charged with violation of constitutional rights under the color of law.

Words fail me to even respond to such inanity, save to call it for what it is.

Wow. Just. WOW. So what you're saying is that conservatives are only made up of "neatly dressed and groomed" people? Wow. Just. WOW. Duck Dynasty guys have a lot more class and sense than some people.
