Everyone needs to call the Reston, Virginia police dept and complain maybe even the DISTRICT ATTORNEY"S office too................about this officer and his lawless behavior. He needs to loose his badge. NO officer can just make up the law as they go along.
When told not to show the picture again the person said but this is America BUT...............
Officer Wesley Cheeks jr. said in proper english
WELL IT AINT NO MORE................
What a fine officer he is.................
Watch as he tells a town hall protester in Reston, Virginia, that he can “charge [him] with whatever I want to” because the protester is holding up a sign he doesn’t like.
When the protester asks why other sign-holders aren’t being threatened with trespassing charges, the officer says it’s because the protester’s sign has a picture.
“This used to be America!” the protester exclaims.
Don't taze me bro! At least it wasn't another physical assualt. Thankfully, the guy had a video camera because otherwise, he would have been beat and charged with resisting arrest.
He would probably have done the same thing to an anti-Bush sign two years ago, if his boss told him to. The fact that standards for Police Officers are lax in some areas of the country is a local issue unless you advocate National Police.

Wow, someone actually defending this. Goodie
Cite or proof that it would've happened with an anti-Bush poster?
