- BigT2000, on 10/10/2007, -7/+58So who is free?
- dainfagerholm, on 10/10/2007, -12/+55***** the police.
- GoatBn, on 10/10/2007, -6/+44Dugg for the guy yelling at the cops at the end.
- david76, on 10/10/2007, -2/+39Helicopter? That's a lawnmower.
- bwinsor, on 10/10/2007, -8/+43We need more people like this instigating change in our country.
- airwalkery2k, on 10/10/2007, -4/+37Clearly it was the "unapproved adhesives" they were arrested for. You can tell it was illegal, because the adhesive was attached to a poster advocating people stand up against the government.

What's with that horse guy? - littlebylittle, on 10/10/2007, -18/+40I can't believe my eyes on this one. Did you hear the helicopter hovering around above? This is insanity. People need to see this video. See what has become of our country.
This video relates to this current front page Digg post:
"Police break up anti-war meeting in Washington"

Digg it all up Diggers. Information is what they don't want you to have. - NeoCortex, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23Somebody set us up the Bush.
- MonGuSE1, on 10/10/2007, -2/+20Per CNN - "City law allows people and organizations to hang posters on lampposts as long as they can be easily removed and there are no more than three on one side of a block."
- beatbox32, on 10/10/2007, -1/+18LMAO.
- bromac, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16You know...disobeying an officer shouldn't be a reason to be arrested. Breaking the law is.
An officer's word is not law. But in your police state world, it is. Cops just want people to say 'How High?' when they say jump, and sounds like you're willing to go along.
Hint: if you receive illegal directions from the police, don't be such a tool and stand up to them. - Shawnosaurus, on 10/10/2007, -4/+17The law was not broken because they deliberately used glue that didn't break the law. WTFV.
- Pureeviljester, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14i've never been arrested for putting "Lost pet" posters up.
and i've lost quite a few =( - inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+16Top five anti-war posters of flickr: [pictures]
http://www.picturesinn.com/_Pic_Top_5_Anti_war_posters - TeCuervo, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11Not long enough yet.
- NikoKun, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11They were not defacing public property... they were putting up posters LEGALLY like any other group is allowed too... -_-
- Vinadetta, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9I guess this is part of the "Freedoms" that "they" hate us for!!!! This is truly disgusting and it makes my blood boil !!!! After watching this you would think that we are living in Nazi Germany!!! The role of the government should be to protect us from fear, and not to instill fear upon the public!!!! I am outraged after watching this!!!!
- SagaLhan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Even a ridiculous law like that? That kind of law is exactly what you should stand up against.
- cndc, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Just to add as a resident of DC, half of the city is Federal land, which is under the jurisdiction of either the Secret Service, Federal Protective Police Service, National Park Police, or Capitol Police. DC citizens have no democratic recourse because it still has no vote in the United States Congress, so asking saying that the locals should vote to change regulations is moot.
- toekneebullard, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Just look at it, it's a fear tactic. The cop advances at high speed, with an object much larger than you, and begins yelling loudly. He was there to startle and scare anyone around. I was pretty "mah" about this video until the horse cop showed up. THAT is fear tactics in use.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10See, if you ignore a saying long enough, it becomes funny again.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Hey ASS FACE, you ever read the Declaration of Independence?
"Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it"
I believe the CONSENT OF THE GOVERNED has been lost a LONG time ago. It is our DUTY to throw these ***** out BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY. - supermanred, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Did you mean the vandals in the white house who ***** all over America and have made the entire world regard you as their enemy?
- swrostmore, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Did you really just refer to American citizens committing civil disobedience, with the intent of being arrested and the goal of spreading their message through controversy, as "BS propaganda?"
- swrostmore, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9This is not the first time protesters have been WRONGLY arrested in the US.
/Fixed - Simufasa, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Actually, I do fault those who follow such orders.
Remember, the Nazis were mostly ordinary people just following orders.
Freedom isn't free, and it seems police officers would be the first to stand up for it. - cndc, on 10/10/2007, -6/+13You clearly don't live in DC. Every utility box in the whole damn city is covered with anti-war posters (not just for this event). The reason they were arrested is because they announced that they would be postering near the White House, which is where they were. The Metropolitan Police force would never do something like this; this is the Federal Park service, which have jurisdiction and are political hacks.
- JerodSlay, on 10/10/2007, -8/+15I wish the American people would wake up and realize that the terrorists don't have to do a darn thing... Our own government, by the apathy of the people, has taken away our rights and freedoms. Osama doesn't have to kill any more Americans. The first amendment is gone. The fourth amendment is gone. More will be gone until we do something to stop them. I wish I could be in Washington D.C. on September 15th to exercise my rights that this administration has fought so hard to take away.
- CDRaff, on 10/10/2007, -3/+10We are all frustrated with the situation that our government is in, yet instead of banding together we fight each other! The politicians are wining. They have us divided on stupid lines that really in the long run will be worked out naturally.
We the people keep getting poor treatment while the politicians keep getting richer. - onewingedangel9, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Civil disobedience is the active refusal to obey certain laws, demands and commands of a government or of an occupying power without resorting to physical violence. It is one of the primary tactics of nonviolent resistance. In its most nonviolent form (known as ahimsa or satyagraha) it could be said that it is compassion in the form of respectful disagreement.
If you are being Civilly Disobedient you ARE PLANNING TO BREAK THE LAW. That's what the disobedience in civil disobedience means! - Hetman, on 10/10/2007, -7/+13People please pick up a history book. This is not the first time protestors have been arrested in the U.S. MLK was arrested for civil right protests, people who protested the vietnam war was arrested. All this does is give more publicity to there cause. Secondly they broke the law two days in a rowe. They were warned not to use that glue. So the next day they came back and used the same glue in hopes of getting arrested so people would be all up in arms about how the U.S. is a dictatorship.
- MrNexus, on 10/10/2007, -3/+9Is that you Dick, I wanted to tell you that you're doing one heck of a job.
- swrostmore, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7How many more people watched this video and now know about the sept. 15 rally because of the controversy?
- MindTrigger, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5To those of you who say "don't blame the police"....
*****... this is like saying "don't blame the Nazi SS, they were just following orders". If you work for a government institution, and you violate the constitution because a superior told you to, you are part of the problem. Quit your damn job. I'm tired of the 'all mighty dollar' being justification for the ***** people pull these days. You don't have to do what you are told, you can QUIT YOUR JOB if you know it's wrong. - joel2600, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5march on washington september 15th. http://sept15.org
let's do it - mstoneburner, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6That's not true I watched this dog on a skateboard on youtube the other day and he didn't get arrested so I'm pretty sure not all youtube videos are of people getting arrested.
- supermanred, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6***** you. Taking the country back might mean breaking the ***** walls down if it is necessary.
By Any Means Necessary.
Say no to Facism before the US becomes the fourth reich. - onewingedangel9, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4So the segregation of whites and blacks on buses was an issue that didn't merit attention and therefore called for a stunt? These things are required to get the issue seen. Rosa Parks planned on getting arrested just the same as these people did. The only difference is that you read about Rosa in textbooks.
If you mean that they are not protesting a law and therefore have no reason to be civilly disobedient, I would say that is an opinion. I would say that an unjust ware that has killed hundreds of thousands of people merits some civil disobedience. - phmfthacim, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4tool
- StarlessKnight, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Corporate Lobbyists?
- Whackly, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5I think the problem is that whether they were actually breaking the law in not known. This very much seems like the police are being pressured to crack down on these people for purposes OTHER than protection and service. Maybe the cops disagree with the protesters politically or maybe they are complicit in an effort to silence people who prefer peace even though it's less profitable.
- JusticeAK, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4The cop on the horse was overkill! I hate cops.
- asurroca, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Someone should have come back the next day and wheat pasted advertisements over these posters... I doubt they'd have been arrested for that!
- pilotss, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Very true.
- onewingedangel9, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4I wasn't aware they invited the police. Sounded to me that they only invited the press.
- cndc, on 10/10/2007, -5/+9That's the director of the ANSWER Coalition. I hope everyone that can will be in DC on the 15th.
- banq59, on 10/10/2007, -3/+7I hope you are the first person shot when marshal law is imposed
