Cops Detain Journalists During DNC, Force One to Delete Images or Face Arrest

Vatic Note:   This is living proof that there is no difference between the grassroots of both parties, since they both are resisting and protesting for the same things.  Freedom, liberty, no police state etc.  That is not a left or right issue,   that is an AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC ISSUE.  We are all Americans first and party faithful second when we should be party faithful last.  
The best thing we can do to both parties is never send them one red penny until they start representing us, and  quit criminally undermining the election process.  That is a demand we should be making on them on both the left and right or refuse to register as either a dem or repub.  Can you imagine just how bad that would look, if no one showed up for either the caucuses or the primary voting and no conventions and instead held our own elections locally and sent those delegates to a convention that neither party had any say in????

 That is called non cooperation.  I love it.  We can do it and do it legally according to 
the Constitution.

Two journalists covering the Democratic National Convention were confronted on Sunday by two undercover agents who assaulted one and threatened to punch the other in the mouth for photographing them.

The two journalists, Kevin Gosztola of Firedoglake.com and Steve Horn, a Truthout contributor credentialed to cover the DNC for WORT-FM in Madison, Wisconsin, took notice of four burly middle-aged white males during a public march. The four were taking photos of the undocumented immigrant contingent in the march. They were carrying “No Papers, No Fear” blue flags and had put stickers from Code Pink on their person to make it seem like they were protesters in the demonstration. One man in an orange shirt had a black piece in one of his ears.

Horn and Gosztola followed one of the men when they left the demonstration. At the corner of North Church Street and West Fifth Street, the man in the orange shirt claimed he was a protester and did not like having his picture taken. He threatened to punch Gosztola “in the teeth.” He belligerently commanded the two journalists to cross the street. The agent in the orange shirt then grabbed Horn and pulled him to the corner where Molly MacPherson’s Scottish Pubs is located.

The orange shirt called for uniformed police officers to stop the two journalists in front of the restaurant. One of the agents chased down Gosztola, who tried to walk away. Then, on Fifth Street, a uniformed police officer ran after Gosztola, who turned when he saw the officer. He was stopped and searched.

The report goes on to say that “Gosztola deleted his photos in front of the officer in order to avoid arrest or confiscation of the device.            ”Sigh”.
