Not really "for filming". She'll get her day in court. If all she was doing was filming, the case will never even get that far. If she was staging and encouraging the event and also filming it, she'll be in trouble. Putting a camera in your hand does not make you guiltless.

This isn't the first reporter/photographer arrested over this oil pipe project. Maybe you aren't aware of the thousands of Native Americans objecting to an oil pipe, or do you think the two reporters looked at a crowd of a thousand Indians, bulldozers on their graveyards, and attack dogs all in a row and said, "I don't see much going on here, let's stage something."

If that's true, this stuff really isn't getting on TV, and arresting all available reporters is working.
(I don't watch TV news, so I don't know if this pipeline protest is on the air.)
But this Thread is about the War on Cops. I would like to direct your attention to the arrest of the person with the camera. I believe you're correct in that, the best reason to arrest the person with the camera is that the activity was staged for the camera. All other scenarios do not provide grounds to arrest the reporter.

I'm thinking the protesters rely on petroleum-based fuels like everyone else and they didn't all walk or ride horses to their demonstration. Completely hypocritical as usual.

This could have escalated into a full blown police dance party.

So your saying then, that just because they(protestors) drive cars, they have no right to protest the desecration of their sacred lands? The protesting is not over petroleum, it's over taking ancestral lands, land they hold as sacred. Would you protest over a pipeline being built through Arlington Cemetery? Or at least support protests?

The desecration of their sacred lands, OK. They went to court like any American should to stop it. A judge ruled on the case a month ago.

http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-...ruction-can-proceed-on-dakota-access-pipeline

Construction on the controversial Dakota Access Pipeline is allowed to proceed, except in one area in North Dakota of particular sensitivity to a Native American tribe.

That's the result of two separate developments Friday — a federal court decision, and a statement by three federal agencies.

A federal judge denied the Standing Rock Sioux tribe's request for an injunction that sought to temporarily stop construction on the pipeline, set to carry crude oil across four states. Immediately after the ruling, the federal agencies announced a halt to work in one area significant to the tribe.

After an appeal on the current construction another ruling.

The ruling allows Energy Transfer Partners — the Dallas-based company funding the project — to move forward with construction of the pipeline on all privately owned land up to the Missouri River. Construction had been halted by a temporary injunction issued in late August, which prohibited construction 20 miles east and west of the river, the tribe's main water source.

The footage begins as two officers attempt to take Parta Huff, of Maywood, into custody after he allegedly crashed his vehicle into a liquor store.

The officers in the 15th District were on patrol when they came across a traffic accident near the intersection of South Cicero Avenue and West Roosevelt Road, authorities said.

 

@ nsaspook, the native Americans have suffered so much in the time since the first settlers came here. The land in dispute now was allowed to them because "white" men deemed it unfit and worthless to 'white' men. Now it is going to be taken eventually, but the Indians are learning to fight in court, but it still won't be enough in the end.

The only thing that matters is 'green' money not 'white' men. If you don't think that money and payoffs are at the heart of this dispute then you don't know anything about tribal government.

 

Remember the post wherein the NYPD said their computers would crash if they even tried to count the cash they have taken without charging anybody with a crime?

Here's the report from Chicago. $50,000,000 in a secret stash.
Chicago Police Dept Caught Hiding Millions in Stolen Cash in Secret Asset Forfeiture Fund
http://thefreethoughtproject.com/chicago-police-dept-stolen-cash/

Let's see...taking money from anybody, regardless of the lack of any crime, hiding it for their own use...
"This is policing for profit, and it is no different than highway robbery."

Now for my opinion. When the police can roll up on just anybody and take their cash, then keep it for themselves without any reporting to anybody, that is just armed robbery. When it gets to tens of millions of dollars, you are looking at a fiefdom operating without legitimacy.

Look to Kratom. A medicinal tree in S.E. Asia.

The withdrawal of an emergency substance restriction is something the DEA “has never been done before. It’s an unprecedented action,” Baer says. “[While] the DEA still believes kratom is a dangerous, harmful substance,” he says the agency wants to send the message that it is listening to citizens: “We don’t want the public to believe we are simply a group of government bureaucrats who don’t care about their safety and health.”

Grammar Nazi here...or maybe just too old...
should've is a contraction of, "should have"
not, "should of".
If you simply weren't aware, there it is. If you wanna do txt spk, that's up to you.

I wonder what caused the blip in 1974, 1975.
I was so busy with school, I didn't notice.
Probably because I didn't own a TV and I didn't read newspapers.
(I didn't have time to be aware of the larger world after spending 17 hours per day with school, homework, and trying to finance it with a part time job.)
