Police Illegally Arrest A Marine Veteran & Desecrate His Flag

Watch Scott Walker’s Police Illegally Arrest A Marine Veteran & Desecrate His Flag

Friday was the second day of the police crackdown to rein in daily protests at the Wisconsin Capitol building seeking to bring attention to Koch-sponsored Governor Scott Walker’s unprecedented attacks on Winsconsin’s labor unions, minorities, the public sector, and the middle class.

After illegally declaring the peaceful demonstration an “unlawful assembly” the Wisconsin Capitol, which are under Walker’s control, have attempted to quell the demonstration by sending out waves of officers to unnecessarily arrest several peaceful protesters.

In the video below, they go as far as to arrest a completely peaceful US Marine Corps veteran, who had not yet been arrested, for “resisting arrest”, although he was simply standing there with a bandanna tied over his mouth, ensuring that he couldn’t possibly have been arrested for saying something disrespectful or threatening towards the police.

Adding insult to injury and providing a very fitting example of Governor Walker’s un-American trampling of his constituents First Amendment rights, the arresting officers either intentionally or inadvertently(it’s not clear in the video) stepped all over this ex-Marine’s American flag, trampling and desecrating it for all to see.

It’s important that all of America sees this video, so everyone can see just how brutal and un-American Scott Walker’s reign of terror is. Please do your part by sharing this literal trampling of American First Amendment Constitutional Rights on social media forums.

Please watch the video(BELOW) and let us know your thoughts in the comments section under it.

After illegally declaring the peaceful demonstration an "unlawful assembly" the Wisconsin Capitol police sent out waves of officers to forcefully arrest singers petitioning their government. This video shows the illegal arrest of a USMC Vietnam vet who was standing silently in the rotunda and wasn't under arrest when he was accused of resisting and arrested.
