They're just enforcing the laws your elected officials put in place. If you disagree, then use the democratic system to change them. Plus, if you really think this makes the US a "police state," you really are playing up on the rhetoric, aren't you? Have you actualy ever been in a true "police state?" I doubt it if you're making this comparison, that is, unless you are only doing so for the "dramatic effect" of calling it that...

The pathway they were on, plus the traffic on the street. They were asked to move, refused, then when told to they failed to obey the lawful direction of a law enforcement officer. At that point the officer has the right to detain the individual, even using the tactics used. The bottom line is play stupid games, win stupid prizes. They were told to leave and didn't, therefore got what they deserved. Just because you disagree with the law doesn't give anyone the right to ignore it. By the way, a similar protest here included two individuals legally carrying long arms. The local police also showed up and told them to vacate the overpass for the same reason. The individuals did and went on their merry way...

If they were causing any disruption, it does apply.

Yes, it's called Unlawful Assembly. Look up Adderley v. Florida (1966). The US Supreme Court has ruled that"[t]he State, no less than a private owner of property, has power to preserve the property under its control for the use to which it is lawfully dedicated." These individuals were blocking a pathway, therefore the police had every right to request they leave then take action when they refused, as it is trespassing at the point.

Happy to hear it!

If Christie is the GOP nominee in '16 than I am finding another party to vote for. There are so many better candidates, Ted Cruz or Rand Paul are two that come to mind...

It wasn't a "fail" (sic) post, it was a direct answer to something you should already know... And if you didn't, you should put more effort into finding the answer yourself being showing your ass on a public forum. Lastly, this type of question goes in the General Discussion area ("discuss general topics in the Military and Aviation"), not the Squadron Bar ("off-topic discussions"). I've moved it in the correct section, please put a little more thought into where to post threads in the future.

Shack, hence my previous comment...

Weak and unconvincing argument. Just because the Tea Party adopted the Gadsden Flag doesn't negate its long and proud history and use in this country. And if you look closely, the one in question is not even the same as the traditional flag being used by the Tea Party. If you can prohibit the use of a national symbol so easily, then I guess you are going to do the same for the bald eagle because the NRA uses it in its logo... And to the elected douchebags of New Rochelle from the proud citizens of Texas..."come and take it!"

He signed my Gathering of Eagles print, I wonder if I have to send him some money now....

C'mon Vertigo, even you have to admit that connecting that particular flag to the Tea Party is a huge stretch...

Ummmm....doesn't city property belong to its citizens? And sorry, but I don't exactly see this as being a "symbol" of the Tea Party... Actually, that flag was flown by deployed SEAL unit aboard the USS Orion in the Eastern Mediterranean Sea during DESERT STORM. I know how giddy liberals get when they think they're getting the better of some conservatives; but this is ridiculous. Honestly, I wonder why the elected officials of New Rochelle are even addressing this in the first place...is this the most urgent issue they have on their plates?!?

Coasta, if you want to continue with this thread; PM me with a better explanation of what you are suggesting. Your post makes no sense in that we have a "serious" side of the forum (General Discussion) and one that's more "relaxed" (Squadron Bar). I think that pretty much covers all our bases, but if you can more clearly deliniate what you are recommending then we'll take it into consideration. Until that time, this one is done...
