Looking at the videos posted on line… Getting up in face of the NPS cops not such a hot idea. Remember, “Anything you say can and will be used against you…” Also, the cops aren’t the only ones on video. Asking for the reason why you can’t do this and asking what the reason the arrest was for should have been the only things said when things took a turn for the worse. The best way to help your friend is to not provoke. That and staying around and prodding the cop for more info prob wasn’t the smartest. If you wanted to stay around and chat among your selfs about what happed then by all means. Just stay away from the cop. At that point they are looking for more info from you to help their case against her and a cop who’s all to cuff happy would gladly arrest again. I agree that the cop was in the wrong but things can easily escalate making him right. That being said……
I think that you all should hold a silent stand in at the JM. Bring your iPods; this time no dancing! (Listen to a copy of the Constitution) This way they can’t get you for the same thing. Everyone should stand at arms length from one and other and just face TJ himself. Do that say once a week for a few weeks for about 10 minutes or what ever interval seems appropriate. Tell the Washington Post and other media outlets about this! Adding pressure and being smart and you will prevail!!!
