How was this video obtained? No officer appeared to prevent or destroy the showing or taping of the entire incident.
While I don't support the rough attitude of the officers, one has to question rather they actually protected or hassled this mccain supporter.
If the camera gets busted this claim of a violation of free speech would just be hearsay and discarded. Somehow, if the camera survives, then free speech wasn't violated?
You will be banned from commenting if you continue to incite this kind of activity.
See definition of disturbing the peace:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disturbing_the_peace
"or using offensive words likely to incite violence."
The camera man is also heavily biased. He asserts, without offering any evidence, that the celebrating crowds are behind a conspiracy to stage a "post-modern coup." Are you implying that the election was a fraud?
What’s next? A man gets arrested for taking a piss on the sidewalk? If so, well, I’m not excited about the future of this country either.
Clearly, the man was trying to incite violence and was also carrying a weapon. Why would I not want to jump in and prevent this? Notice the police didn't ask him to take off his shirt, just to leave the area.
Also, do you just spend all day on YouTube?
Anyway, my point is that when people SAY things, that isn’t racism. Air escaping from your lungs cannot pick up your grandfathers leather belt and beat you with it, now can it? Once you grasp this (very basic) concept we can continue this discussion like intelligent adults with some “common sense”…

Seriously are you on drugs?
Andrew, explain to me this. If racism can be words in addition to actions (a point I am NOT (NOT, NOT, NOT) conceding mind you (conceding is bullshit, BTW. No one should ever concede things unless faced with the threat of death)) HOW can those WORDS (those simple bits of AIR from your LUNGS that before you formed them into "meanie words" were just gas in your belly possibly next to lunch your mom made for you in your lunch pail) pick up 2x4 and beat your skull in? Beat in ANYONE's skull of ANY race? AIR CANNOT BE RACIST!!!!!!
If you can adequately explain the psychics of that to me, sir, I will have conceded this point (and THAT will be a first for me). I respect your views beyond these others, and I eagerly await your reply!

"Racism: the practice of commiting voilent acts towards someone of another race (see, also RACE)."
And this is from an actual BOOK. OK? A BOOK! Do you know what those are, Ryan? Do they have those in whatever crackden you're living in?
noun
the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics or abilities specific to that race, esp. so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races.
• prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief : a program to combat racism.
Much as I don't agree with Daisy's opinions, particularly the ones associated with this article, doesn't it seem a bit two faced to remove her comments from a post concerning freedom of speech? I think the "freedom isn't free" quote applies well here. You can't have true freedom of speech without a complete lack of censorship, and that means not censoring even those who post off the wall comments. Personally I was very offended by the poster on your other article who proposed that Hitler was installed by other Jews for the creation of a Jewish state, but I agree that because of right to freedom of speech he has the right to make such a post.
It may have been a different story if he had gone in their neighborhood to taunt them, however since this was "neutral " territory, he had every right to be there as they did.

Anyway, yeah the disturbing the peace provision does say we blame the 'victim' provided the 'victim' is stupid: ie: doing things to endanger their own well being or that of others.
