cbc.ca — Errm... is Blackwater training the cops in Winnipeg? "CBC reporters were in the area following a different story. When police began arriving, the cameraman began rolling. Police instructed him to turn off the camera, then moved in, said CBC reporter Gosia Sawicka... the cameraman was formally charged with obstructing a peace officer."

Either be willing to kill or be killed when police take away your liberty or shut up and sit down and bend over.

"Puerto Rico's political status[3][4] is that of a United States Commonwealth,[5] an unincorporated, organized territory with a political status that "provides for self-government in respect of internal affairs and administration, subject to relevant portions of the Constitution and the laws of the United States".[6] "Matters of currency, defense, external relations, interstate commerce",[7] "postal system, social security, and mining activities and minerals, among other areas"[3] are within the jurisdiction of the United States Federal Government."It walks and quacks like a duck. But it ain't a duck just yet, geographical dumbass! This from a Canuck who seems to know more about your government than you do. Kinda tellin', ain't it?

I don't automatically believe what the police say. I don't automatically believe what the government says. I don't automatically believe what the media says - they tend to leave out facts in order to make a story more sensational. Some articles on this story did just that.But unlike you, I don't automatically, mindlessly, DISbelieve them either. I don't the obvious chip on my shoulder that you have, the one that makes you sound like an eight-year-old who got caught doing something wrong, and wants to blame it on whoever caught him.Especially in THIS case, where even the cameraman who got charged, is saying exactly what the police say - he was on scene BEFORE the security perimeter went up, and he was inside it. The disagreement is on whether he could be charged for not leaving.Not that you care about facts like that. You have your anti-authority attitude, any person or fact that disagrees with you is to be insulted and dismissed.Maybe when you reach high school, they teach you about critical thinking.

Law enforcement is not a job where you can take things personally, if you have a problem with that you need to find another career.
