It is hard to hear what was said by the MPD officer. If he did tell him to move away, and he refused, then an arrest is appropriate.

*If* the officer asked him to move away, did he have a reason? Finding the public annoying is not a good enough reason.

One thing is for sure, we never have to listen to MAGAs again when they talk about the government or freedom or bravery. Just a bunch of cuck gimps.

ALPHAS…lmao.

[Anonymous]

no one knows if the brown shirts swarmed him; so stop with the BS argument he was too close.

[Anonymous]

do we know his name or if his family needs any support?

this location is but two majority minority schools - I hope during the day the ice is melted.

these "alphas" are the problem not a random citizen filming them.

if they aren't doing anything illegal they should be afraid to be filmed. I see no policy tape either. So no perimeter that this man crossed.

Is there any evidence that he impeded a federal arrest?

This is utterly ridiculous. All I see is that he asked them to id themselves.

I do wish he hadn’t yelled and sweated. Only because some people will see this video and they’ll focus on that. That’s why in the 60s they did all the non violent protest training. So when people got dragged out from protests no one could question the fact they were engaged in peaceful speech activities. If it happened to me I would hope I could be brave and just say calmly “I am not resisting arrest. I am engaging in first amendment protected activities. This is an unlawful arrest.”

I guess the judge will decide that.
If an officer of the law gives you an order to move you better damn well follow it.

The guy was too close to the scene. He’s within arms reach of officers who are doing a potentially dangerous job. Generally you need to stand about 25 feet back from police activity and you can film all you want, just like his comrade did without incident. All these sidewalk lawyers are hopped up on adrenaline and really don’t know what they’re doing. I’m sure charges will be dropped and he will have his trophy story. But this is why being a cop in DC is an impossible job.

Nah, fool. Trump puts all of them in danger by deploying military to go on arrests with them. You’re just too dumb to understand.

lol, no. If they are giving you illegal orders force them to arrest you and then go to court. You don’t let bad cops dictate the law.

The cops are definitely stepping out of bounds.

In Washington Crackdown, Making a Federal Case Out of Low-Level Arrests

The stream of defendants who shuffled through a federal courtroom on Thursday afternoon illustrated the new ways in which laws are being enforced in the nation’s capital after the president’s takeover of the city’s police. They were appearing before a magistrate judge on charges that would typically be handled at the local court level, if they were filed at all.

"One man had been arrested over an open container of alcohol. Another had been charged with threatening the president after delivering a drunken outburst following his arrest on vandalism. And one defendant’s gun case so alarmed prosecutors that they intend to drop the case."

Have you ever seen or smelled the inside of the DC lockup?

I think that the NG is stuck following fascist orders for now. I am sort of glad that they are there because at some point they might have to save us from the Gestapo.

What about the DC police? They are participating in the arrest.

Except the guy filming was told by one of the officers to stay away. I thought the officer was going to tell the guy filming that he had to stop filming.

I didn't see that the man did anything unlawful. He was standing still, filming (I assume) police officers, and talking to them. If they told him to move, he should have moved, but he didn't do anything unlawful that I could see. He wasn't obstructing anything. He was just standing there holding a phone.

Gun case?
