ACLU Renews Its Call For Investigation Into Alleged Civil Liberties Violations At RNC
“Attempts by law enforcement to squelch lawful political speech and stifle the press have no place in our democracy and are unacceptable,” said Anthony D. Romero, Executive Director of the ACLU. “Political conventions should be a showcase for free expression, not a venue for bullying and intimidation.”
The ACLU specifically called for an investigation into possible violations of the First and Fourth Amendments, including:the arrest of reporters trying to gather the news;
the mass arrest of hundreds of peaceful protestors;
the surveillance and subsequent raids on several activist groups and private homes; and
the confiscation by law enforcement agents of constitutionally-protected private property.
Here is some video of some of the “peaceful protesters” that the big, bad police pepper sprayed and arrested!

They should have just shot them and anyone in the ACLU who defends them.
