During the protest a cop tries to arrest me for filming on public property claiming that it is federal and therefore not public HAHAHA.

Protest at the office of Lamar Alexander in Knoxville, TN on 10-29-09. There was a group of counter protesters and a cop that tried to quiet us but we got our message out. We left a letter (read out loud in the video) for Sen. Alexander and even if he doesn't agree, at least he knows that not everyone in this state is on his side.

2. Who is the officer. Perhaps he would do an on camera interview explaining wtf he was doing?

[Piewhacket]

3. including why he assaulted the cameraman.

5. And why only certain viewpoints are forbidden on "federal property".

10. Looks to me he sought to abuse his police authority to restrict a view point he disagrees with.

Well, that's my opinion anyway. Probably thinks of himself as patriot when acts like that makes him anything but.

[Piewhacket]

11. why, that sounds like it might be illegal! (ie 18usc242, a federal crime)

maybe that's what the other officer explained, that if
he continued he would be arrested.

alas, by then it was too late.

4. Good for you

You guys have a lot of guts.

6. What do we want rid of "co-ops" when do we want it now. Folks going to be a little displeased if...

they don't get it right this time. Probably a good time to start an ad campaigns to make folks aware GOP are blocking emergecny 14 week extension to unemployment too. It's an insurance policy against anarchy should see people through to expected job growth in 2010.

7. It's going to take 300 million brave souls like these...

We need this happening in every city around the world. Let the right wing nut cases have the country side....we'll take the cities.

OUR voice has to be heard...and heard loud and clear. This is about THE PEOPLE, not the party, not the corporations, not the lies and bull shit.

Congrats to these brave folks. You embolden my faith in the South.

9. And if we don't get a great bill, we should fire those not working for us.

ROLL CONGRESS 2010 Vote out every Congressional incumbent who didn't strongly argue for single payer. Fire them in the primaries, fire them in the general, but fire them, they aren't working for us.

8. Thanks for speaking out...I think he has tea baggers ansewring

his phones....never in my life have I talked to anyone so rude...This was his DC #

12. Include everyone or exclude everyone!

I am sick of those teabaggers on medicare and the VA care. If they are unwilling to extend healthcare to all Americans, then they should give up their "public" options too!
