Has the RNC outsourced security to an Indonesian militia???? That is a disgrace, Amy deserves soooo much better (obviously)…these imbicles have no clue as to who they are messing with!

Damn Amy, do something with that nappy grey hair. If you look like a nut, the police gestpo will treat you like one. I do agree 100% that law enforcement has trampled all over our your rights, and if we have any judges with any balls they will stop this harassment.

Police warned the group to break up and move on….they didn't. Next time listen to them and avoid the problem.

Hmmm,
A direct order to disperse.
A direct order to back away.
A direct order not to cross a Police Line.
Amy, you were given direct orders, you choose not to obey them, so therefore you were arrested.
Earth to Amy, that little Press Pass DOES NOT give you the right to ignore a direct order from a Police Officer.
