No free speech for opponents of abortion
Denver police goons again:
"Two teenagers who had been given city permission to write their messages protesting Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama's support for abortion on public sidewalks during the Democratic National Convention this week were shoved to the sidewalk, cuffed and arrested for doing just that....
Spokeswoman Danielle Versluys told WND the group had consulted with Denver city officials as well as police prior to the DNC, and had been told that chalk messages on sidewalks would be allowed. Even though the city's deputy chief was in the meeting, that message apparently didn't get forwarded to officers on the street.
"I was peacefully sidewalk chalking when I was forcefully pushed to ground by a police officer from behind," Jayne White, 17, described. "As I was being cuffed on the ground, the police officer pushed his knee into the back of my neck. I was pulled roughly off the ground and taken away. I was given no warning to stop and was completely shocked when I was arrested.'...
"I am horrified and outraged at the treatment of these two girls. Not only were they legally expressing their opinions on the public sidewalk, but they were doing so peacefully and without incident. The officers acted without provocation, and should be ashamed of themselves for terrorizing two young women," Versluys said.
"I am also appalled that the city of Denver boasted of the city's preparation for the convention but clearly neglected to train their police force to respect the First Amendment and the rights of citizens to peacefully demonstrate," she said. "The city of Denver sent a clear message to civic-minded young people this week: the First Amendment doesn't apply here," she said.

See here and here for more examples of Denver police-goons spitting on the 1st Amendment. Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper is a Democrat so the fact that his police are pro-Democrat to the point of thuggishness is not much of a surprise. Stalin would understand.
Many will remember that Hickenlooper initially showed negligible reaction to a black singer mangling the national anthem in front of him. Am I questioning his patriotism? You bet!

Did anyone really think the Democrats, and their Marxist candidate, would allow the public to see the protestors outside their convention, even though they knew most of the demonstrators were from the radical Left? Do you recall seeing any TV coverage of demonstrations during the convention? No, neither do i, even though they did take place. This young lady should do what the leftists do, SUE, SUE, SUE!!
The reichmarshall and all the brownshirts on the police department in denver should face a nuremburg sort of trial .
The telling moment will be who gets reprimanded for this. If the officers should have known better then they should be punished. However if their superiors failed to pass on the message about what was and was not allowed then expect the officers to take the fall anyway.
Let's hope they get a good lawyer and sue the shirts off of Denver for violation of their 1st Ammendment rights.
And i,ll bet is they had put up a sign reading SAVE THE REDWOODS MURDER A LOGGER the city council of doofus heads would have approved it
