Protesters denied access to attorneys, forced to march in leg shackles, ACLU charges

The ACLU issued a stinging rebuke to the Denver Police Department Wednesday, alleging that the department may have violated laws and constitutional rights of protesters arrested outside the Democratic National Convention.

In the letter, obtained by RAW STORY, the ACLU revealed that the police refused those arrested access to attorneys. Police did not let detainees use phones unless they posted their own bonds, and even failed to provide shoes, in one case marching a protester into court in bare feet and leg shackles, according the ACLU.

The horror of it all, the ACLU in tears, get out the compassion kit. These passionate patriots, protesting the Donks and their insufficiently fascist socialist policies merely exercised their civil rights. They’re just carrying on the time-honored tradition of rioting to get one’s way, poor waifs.
These bozos are hell bent on destroying the Constitution with the the ACLU enabling them. The only civil rights considered are theirs, everyone else’s be damned. What they don’t like is getting the very police treatment they wish to inflict on the rest of us through a change in government “style.”

An improvement to the show: truncheons on noses and foreheads in the evening. Remember how worried the idiots were that the powers were going to unlimber a “crap cannon” on them; one that would loosen their bowels uncontrollably. Just what is needed for these situations.

Nothing more than asymmetrical warfare; that’s how they treat it, tender them what they desire. The only fools left then will be the ones inside the convention.

Don’t believe this is the Donk direction?

Is America Ready To Send its Political Opponents to Jail?

That is why it’s particularly troubling that the Obama campaign has filed a criminal complaint against the people behind an ad being run that links Obama to avowed terrorist William Ayers.

Per Ben Smith’s Blog at Politico:

It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time Bauer has called for criminal investigations and prosecutions into donors to independent groups critical of Obama, including one supporting John Edwards and another supporting Hillary Rodham Clinton. His words did have the effect of scaring their donord and consultants, but haven’t yet appeared to result in any prosecution.

So it appears to be a standard stratgy of the Obama team to threaten their political enemies with prison for being disrespectful of Obama. This is a tactic that is reminiscent of third world countries like the ones the Obama relatives are involved with in Africa.

Not to mention the Socialist countries of the Soviet Bloc and the fascists demonstrating outside.
