Excellent news segment on a passive protester who was brutally arrested
Republican National Convention coverage
Trish Van Pilsum from Fox’s Minneapolis station does an excellent piece of journalistic work in this segment of a passive protester named Leah Lane who was pepper-sprayed repeatedly, then shoved with bikes before she was handcuffed.
At one point in the segment, as the cameraman if filming the arrest, police shoot pepper spray towards Van Pilsum and tell her to move.
“I’m not crossing the police line,” she tells the cops. “I’d like to be able to observe the arrest, please.”
“You’re in the street. You need to leave the street.”
She was actually in the median and she stands her ground. But Lane was not so lucky. She was dragged off to jail.
Comments
Now that is a nice woman. Her’s is the way to protest, the way of Ghandi and MLK. Peaceful protest is the way to get things to change.
Peaceful protest is also a good way to get broken bones and spirit; run over by tanks and other trucks; to be arrested and held indefinitely, etc.
Sometimes you need violent protest by a bunch of anarchists that don’t care.
Seems like a nice girl. Overkill on the part of the Minneapolis Police methinks.
So genewitch, who was it that caused the civil rights movement of the 60′s to prosper, or Gandhi and the right of India’s independence, or apartheid in South Africa?
If you want change peaceful protest is the way to do it.
And I hope you don’t believe that all anarchists are violent, because I am one and I am a pacifist.
The girl deserved to be arrested… On the other hand the BS they pulled with the reporter, and spraying pepper spray on the street in front of her deserves attention.
Wait how can you think the girl deserved to be arrested. Peaceful protesting is written into the constitution. It’s legal.
I think the part where the cops block off the view of her arrest is most telling.
They didn’t want anyone to know much force they were actually using on her – stepping on her face/neck.
That might look bad.
Yes, we wouldn’t want the cops in this country to look bad, would we?
