8. Further evidence of the police state

I wonder, perhaps, if the definition of "peaceful protest" in the law books reads that we should only be allowed to complain from the comfort of our own home, behind closed doors, and speaking our mind to no one.
It is aparent from the video, however, that the definition of "violent threat to the public and officers of the law" involves sittting infront of a corrupt organization and singing.
We do not have a constitution. We have a carrot on a stick that is being dangled before us that we can never reach no matter how hard we try. Not that we should stop trying, mind you, but that is how the powers-that-be seem to percieve it. My heart goes out to this poor woman.
