Without seeing more video of the incident that brought the police over there in the first place I'm not going to pass full judgement on their actions, but it does appear they arrested someone for peaceably assembling at an event because he had an contrary opinion...

He laid hands on a law officer - can't do that. When he grabbed the police officer that's when things went South for him...

Like I said without knowing what happened before that point, I'm not going to pass judgement that quick... Yes laying hands on an officers is out of line, but that doesn't negate the officers potential actions in the event prior to that point in the incident...

HP comments make me sick.
“I do believe that where there is only a choice between cowardice and violence I would advise violence"
"…Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor."
"…He who cannot protect himself or his nearest and dearest or their honour by non-violently facing death may and ought to do so by violently dealing with the oppressor. He who can do neither of the two is a burden. He has no business to be the head of a family. He must either hide himself, or must rest content to live for ever in helplessness and be prepared to crawl like a worm at the bidding of a bully …
[When violence] is offered in self-defence or for the defence of the defenceless, it is an act of bravery far better than cowardly submission."
~Gandhi~

Even though he just placed his hand on the Officer's arm, the police will not tolerate that. I know a little about tense situations and I can't blame the police for being extra cautious. In the video it appears that they went a tad overboard though and the noisy crowd with phones and cameras everywhere didn't help.

I can't get the video to play; but from what I remember he went on the stage and stood right next to the speaker. That is a step beyond heckling. Maig's hired security guards escorted him off the stage and reported him to the police.

The second video on the page I linked shows no stage, just a sidewalk demonstration with a folding table and podium setup in front of the bus, in fact I see no barriers at all even though most of the people are standing several feet away, he choose to stand a little closer to voice his opinion and although one might find that annoying, I personally don't feel that it's an illegal act worthy of arrest or even removal at a peaceful demonstration... No more annoying then the ladies with the megaphone... It also appears there might be 'security' or an officer standing right behind him at this point doing nothing to remove him...

So basically he exercises his first amendment right in support of his second amendment rights, and they violate his fourth amendment rights?
