- dwayne.sellers, on 08/27/2008, -90/+394Where are all the digg Bush bashers on this one? I do not care very much for Bush myself but am tired of the one sided stories lamenting him and the entire Republican party as devils incarnate. Guess what folks, all politicians are corrupt and wish to restrict your rights while lining their pockets with money. Give equal time to all corruption!
- aleishman, on 08/27/2008, -30/+302What the hell is going on with the police lately?! I've spent most of my life with my fingers in my ears, ignoring all the "crazy" people trying to tell me that the police are generally corrupt.
Then, one day, I accidentally pull one finger out and ....
Sad and scary. - RedPhalanx, on 08/27/2008, -48/+266Hired goons: not just for Republicans
- mofw, on 08/27/2008, -36/+226whats with all the democrat party comments? This article has nothing to do with republican vs. democrat.
This article is about civil liberties, free speech & police thuggery. - kingofinternet, on 08/28/2008, -11/+152BREAKING: COP ACTS LIKE POWER-CRAZED *****!
- mountainweb, on 08/27/2008, -194/+328Clearly the democrat party has let the "messiah" halo of their leader go to their heads. Are we headed for a dictatorship here?
- zizzybaloobah, on 08/27/2008, -73/+205Of course they couldn't allow ABC to capture this on video - it would negate all the posturing by the Dems to make themselves appear to be the party of the people -- they would *never* be influenced by special interests and/or big money like the GOP is.
- 2612, on 08/27/2008, -102/+234Think the police acted on their own here, or were they asked to intervene? Those Dems love Freedom of Speech, don't they? Dept of Justice to stop anti-Obama ads, the Fairness Doctrine, etc.
- algaeturd, on 08/28/2008, -41/+164Are you ***** serious? HEADING into a dictatorship? Where have you been for the past 8 years where the 'decider' not only makes the decisions for ALL americans, but also doesn't bother getting anyone's opinion in Congress.
Get an education, study history and then come back and meet me here in 4 years for a proper debate.
What a ***** idiot. - notbeinfringed, on 08/27/2008, -13/+129During the arrest, one of the officers can be heard saying to Eslocker, "You're lucky I didn't knock the f..k out of you."
- 309east, on 08/27/2008, -15/+122I'm amazed that the corporate overlords at ABC didn't brush this story under the rug.
- homerj1965, on 08/27/2008, -34/+131Welcome to the NWO and the new American police state.
- kemp34, on 08/28/2008, -28/+119VOTE THIRD PARTY.
Both major parties are corrupt at the core. - inactive, on 08/28/2008, -10/+98"Now you are blocking traffic... never mind that I just pushed you into the street"
- cutlerite, on 08/28/2008, -37/+120This isn't about Obama. This is about our nation becoming a police state. Stop trying to make it an obama scandal by promoting it as one OR burying it for that matter.
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -9/+91This is messed up. Yesterday it was Code Pink being abused by the cops, today it is ABC. Nobody is safe from these maniacs. Still think it can't happen to you in the Land of the Free, and the Home of the Brave? If this isn't a Police State, I don't know what is. The same thing could happen to you walking down a street in your hometown. This isn't just about Denver or the DNC. It's about an abuse of power by the Police in this country. This is about the loss of basic civil rights. This is endemic.
- cosmictap, on 08/28/2008, -18/+96This has nothing to do with the Dems and everything to do with the Denver Police Department and the Boulder County Sheriff. Photography is not a crime.
- pinchduck, on 08/28/2008, -3/+63Isn't ABC News the embodiment of the main stream media?
- CommonSense2k8, on 08/27/2008, -37/+90This country is lost if this is allowed to happen. We had a good run.
RIP USA
1776 - 2008 - inactive, on 08/28/2008, -9/+61Jamie Glennon, a spokeswoman for Denver's Joint Information Center, said Eslocker "was advised numerous times by the police before he was apprehended to stop blocking the sidewalk and entryway to the hotel."
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/08 ...

Oh so that's the law he was violating, "blocking the sidewalk". Why didn't they also charge him with "breathing the air" while they were at it? So now it is a crime to stand on a public sidewalk? I guess we are all criminals. That seems to be the attitude of the Denver Police. In case you haven't figured out from this, Cops are Professional Liars. They arrest you first and then figure out a reason why later. How'd you like the cop with the cigar? Did he come from central casting? And how about the hands around the throat? Is that standard Police procedure? And pushing the guy into the street. He could have been run over. How many things are wrong with this picture? How many acts of Police Misconduct can you count in this one video? - inactive, on 08/27/2008, -56/+108The first thing Che' suggested Fidel do when he came to power was arrest journalists who didn't walk the party line. Obama does have a big picture of Che' in one of his campaign headquarters...
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -10/+57Police State, USA
- exgop, on 08/27/2008, -11/+55Che was a despicable man. He used to kill little boys in front of their fathers who did not agree with his Communist beliefs. Just several of the 150 some million people who have been murderd by Communist and Marxist.
- GovernmentSp00k, on 08/28/2008, -17/+61How dare you trace a money trail that can incriminate us! We work feverishly to prop up the false-front myth of "servants of the people!" "representatives of the American citizens" to disguise the fact we are bought, sold and paid-for by our ultra wealthy lobbyist "VIP" masters who own us. That's who we REALLY work for, but you're not supposed to realize it. We sold you TV-manipulated divided & conquered American dummies out a LOOONG time ago! The less publicity of our funding and public photos of our corporate masters, the better. got it? "Police!! Can I get an arrest ova here, stat?? We got a damn American citizen reporter taking pictures on a public sidewalk of us and our wealthy "VIP donors" leaving our secret private meeting at the Brown Palace Hotel!!"
"During the arrest, one of the officers can be heard saying to Eslocker, "You're lucky I didn't knock the f..k out of you."
"Protecting" and "serving", as usual. Another low-digit I.Q. "tuff" postulating hiding behind a tin badge. What's next, breaking out the taser toy and giving him a hickey?
Reporter should have offered up a donut or 2, maybe some McDonald's coffee. Cop would've been putty in his hands. - Catspaw, on 08/28/2008, -8/+51Martial Law 9/11: Rise of the Police State
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4382151310 ... - WhiskeyWrites, on 08/28/2008, -2/+45According to the police they were asked to intervene by the hotel.
- casek, on 08/28/2008, -4/+40we've been headed for this a lot longer than bush has been in office...lucky for him some "opportunities" arose.
no line in the sand between parties. both are acting the same now. - borez, on 08/28/2008, -21/+54Welcome to Fascism
- stinkymonkey, on 08/28/2008, -25/+58Let me understand your logic. A guy gets arrested by police and its Obamas fault because he's a dictator. That is a huge stretch of the imagination, really doesn't make sense, and is ignorant of any facts. A true neocon at work. Also, asking a question "Are we headed for a dictatorship here?" which clearly you don' want answered, yet still gets a shady point across is FOXNEWs claim to fame - so leave it to them to spread the BS. Geez.
- kemp34, on 08/28/2008, -18/+50Note: Gun Owners of America gave both Obama and McCain fat F's, as in FAIL, in their assessment of gun rights. Ron Paul and Bob Barr received A's.
Why do these "leaders" want to take the guns out of responsible individuals' hands so bad? What would Thomas Jefferson, George Washington or Thomas Paine have to say about this? - 5urr3al5am, on 08/28/2008, -46/+77This is ABSOLUTELY ridiculous!!? Funny how we haven't heard a peep about this from the MSM? Why do Democrats continue to think they can work above the law?
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -0/+29The footage was shown on ABC's "World News" tonight. Eslocker was working with chief investigative reporter Brian Ross, who does stories on conventions and donors every four years. Schneider said the arrest was initiated by an off-duty sheriff's officer working as a security guard for the Brown Palace.
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/08 ... - brad3378, on 08/28/2008, -4/+32Dear Kevin Rose,
Please add a Police-State section to digg.com
Thanks in advance. - allowners, on 08/28/2008, -6/+34I love the soothing words from one fascist "cop" as another has his hand around the reporter's throat: Relax, relax. Does this mean the press is starting to do it's job. Is it time for citizens to intervene and protect those who are exposing the police state?
- danielttt, on 08/28/2008, -4/+31Sworn officers of the law. They take an oath to protect and defend the constitution of the United States. Wonder how many of these FOP loyalists have even read the constitution.
- inactive, on 08/28/2008, -16/+42RECREATE 1776!!!
Now is the time to stop this madness and reverse a century of bad politics.
Don't bother writing your Congressional Representatives and Senators anymore, they will sell you a line of flowery BS, or they will simply ignore you. Don't write the White House, you can say anything imaginable and all you will receive is an automated response thanking you for your correspondence. Trust me many of the things I have called them they wouldn't be thanking me for it they even bothered to read the thoughts of the people.
Large scale theft began during the term of Woodrow Wilson with the stealthy passage of the Federal Reserve Act in 1913. Soon the 16th amendment was passed, but whether or not it was ever sufficiently ratified by the states is a matter of serious doubt among some scholars. In a nutshell, Congress gave their power to "coin money and regulate the value thereof" to the privately owned Federal Reserve Banking system, a group of elitist international bankers. Inflation and deflation of the currency have been intentionally orchestrated by the Reserve system repeatedly since then in order to transfer the wealth of the people to the bankers.
According to the report of a special commission appointed by Reagan early in his administration, not one penny of the money the people pay in income taxes (illegal under the Constitution and stated as such by multiple Supreme Court rulings), was used for any function of the United States government. Every bit of it was paying interest on the borrowed money from the Federal Reserve which is worth whatever they say it is. This is only a fraction of the sea of injustices committed against the people by the government, actually not even a good start!!!
Now since these bastards have been robbing us all blind for nearly a century, and the government knows it, even makes donations for the Zionist housing in the West Bank in Israel tax deductible, and has done NOTHING about it, and since they no longer represent WE THE PEOPLE,
*******************************************************************************************
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.
-Excerpt from the Declaration of Independence
*******************************************************************************************
we need to kick every damn one of them out of office now!!! Arm yourselves to your maximum lethal capacity, unite and (yes I mean this in the most literal sense), totally overthrow the United States government, establishing a government for the people which is based solely on the Constitution and Bill of Rights.
Be very creative, we need knowledgeable people to improvise with available resources to keep all planes inbound and outbound out of the sky. We must seal the borders. Kill the international bankers and corporate criminals who choose to oppose the movement and confiscate ALL of their American assets (we can go after what they have already funneled to foreign soil later, it is OUR money), relentlessly storm Wall Street and Washington DC and assume control until a new government ordained by the people under the guidelines of the United States Constitution can be put in place. As many as will surrender we can put in the FEMA camps they have built for us until they can be granted due process, any who will not must be killed instantly without hesitation. The only way we will get this country back is to TAKE IT BACK!!! Don't let a single one of them escape!!!
It is now or never!!! How many people can everyone reading this comment recruit for the cause? We must do this or face annihilation. Soon we will starve, be killed, or enslaved. I suggest that everyone tap into their sense of dignity and make up their minds to say "Hell no," and to stop this insanity or die trying rather than waiting around to become a helpless victim.
Death to the despots, be it through the courts or by execution!!! Let the rule of law and order be restored and remind all the world that WE THE PEOPLE run America!!! - detokaal, on 08/27/2008, -36/+62What do Democrats here have to say about this?
- gronne, on 08/28/2008, -6/+31DOESN'T ANYBODY REMEMBER BUSH'S "FREE SPEECH ZONES"?!!!!
- Stevanoski, on 08/27/2008, -23/+47"Zeus" with that Greek temple?
- ayeroxor, on 08/28/2008, -4/+28The police cannot arrest someone on public property (sidewalk) just because a private corporate entity politely asks them to. Even if they say pretty please.
- casek, on 08/28/2008, -14/+37Ten Planks of Communism
1. Abolition of private property and the application of all rent to public purpose.
The 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution (1868), and various zoning, school & property taxes. Also the Bureau of Land Management.
2. A heavy progressive or graduated income tax.
Misapplication of the 16th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, 1913, The Social Security Act of 1936.; Joint House Resolution 192 of 1933; and various State "income" taxes. We call it "paying your fair share".
3. Abolition of all rights of inheritance.
We call it Federal & State estate Tax (1916); or reformed Probate Laws, and limited inheritance via arbitrary inheritance tax statutes.
4. Confiscation of the property of all emigrants and rebels.
We call in government seizures, tax liens, Public "law" 99-570 (1986);
Executive order 11490, sections 1205, 2002 which gives private land to the Department of Urban Development; the imprisonment of "terrorists" and those who speak out or write against the "government" (1997 Crime/Terrorist Bill); or the IRS confiscation of property without due process.
5. Centralization of credit in the hands of the State, by means of a national bank with state capital and an exclusive monopoly.
We call it the Federal Reserve which is a credit/debt system nationally organized by the Federal Reserve act of 1913. All local banks are members of the Fed system, and are regulated by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC).
6. Centralization of the means of communication and transportation in the hands of the State.
We call it the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Department of Transportation (DOT) mandated through the ICC act of 1887, the Commissions Act of 1934, The Interstate Commerce Commission established in 1938, The Federal Aviation Administration, Federal Communications Commission, and Executive orders 11490, 10999, as well as State mandated driver's licenses and Department of Transportation regulations.
7. Extention of factories and instruments of production owned by the State, the bringing into cultivation of waste lands, and the improvement of the soil generally in accordance with a common plan.
We call it corporate capacity, The Desert Entry Act and The Department of Agriculture. As well as the Department of Commerce and Labor, Department of Interior, the Evironmental Protection Agency, Bureau of Land Management, Bureau of Reclamation, Bureau of Mines, National Park Service, and the IRS control of business through corporate regulations.
8. Equal liablity of all to labor. Establishment of Industrial armies, especially for agriculture.
We call it the Social Security Administration and The Department of Labor. The National debt and inflation caused by the communal bank has caused the need for a two "income" family. Woman in the workplace since the 1920's, the 19th amendment of the U.S. Constitution, the Civil Rights Act of 1964, assorted Socialist Unions, affirmative action, the Fedral Public Works Program and of course Executive order 11000.
9. Combination of agriculture with manufacturing industries; gradual abolition of the distinction between town and country by a more equable distribution of the population over the country.
We call it the Planning Reorganization act of 1949 , zoning (Title 17 1910-1990) and Super Corporate Farms, as well as Executive orders 11647, 11731 (ten regions) and Public "law" 89-136.
10. Free education for all children in government schools. Abolition of children's factory labor in its present form. Combination of education with industrial production, etc. etc.
People are being taxed to support what we call 'public' schools, which train the young to work for the communal debt system. We also call it the Department of Education, the NEA and Outcome Based "Education" . - inactive, on 08/28/2008, -3/+26Pull the other finger out and take off the blinders. The tinfoil hat crowd was closer to right than the MSM. Hint on the afterdowning street web site yesterday I saw video of literal black government helicopters over the DNC convention yesterday. We have torture camps all over the world ,and non violent protestors are regularly beaten and hundreds have died from being tasered in the last decade. Yes it is that bad and it ought to offend both hard lefties like myself AND true Conservatives who respect the Constitution., it's time we united against the corrupt centralist, globalist center.
- tasine, on 08/28/2008, -23/+46Dems think they can work above the law because it proven day after day after day that they can. They have no one to hold them accountable. Republicans are too faint to hold them to account, and the media is complicit in their cover-up.
- smotpoker, on 08/28/2008, -0/+22@brad
Not when camera's are rolling... - Memitim, on 08/28/2008, -7/+29Hopefully the Democrats don't have much to say since this was the action of city cops on the behest of the hotel. I know it gets you partisans off to try and tie every event in the world to one of the two major parties but sometimes something that makes the news really just involves the rest of us mere mortals and our petty squabbles. The reporter and/or the cops ***** up; the reporter's motivations notwithstanding there isn't any indication that any politico made some secret phone call to bring in the SS.
I get that you feel as though your every action is dictated by the mandates of The Almighty Party, but they aren't quite as pervasive as you'd like to believe. Once you do find a definitive tie to a politician performing an illegal action to violate this reporter's civil right then please feel free to present your case and evidence so that the son-of-a-bitch can be nailed to the wall. - Hangly, on 08/28/2008, -3/+25RIP USA
1789 - 1865 - PopcornDave, on 08/28/2008, -2/+24Either side is going to give you a complete ass raping and then charge you for not using lubricant.
- Mediamoron, on 08/28/2008, -14/+36He had to be protected from himself, like the rest of us.
- Izult, on 08/28/2008, -1/+22ABC Reported on this on Good Morning America this morning and included the footage of the arrest. Also loudly complaining that it PUBLIC sidewalk that their reporter was on and that the arrest shouldn't have happened.
