Well, i'm sure there is a DHS report about YAL, and officer dillon was ready to die for his democracy to stop those terrorist.
 
"Like shouldn't this be in Iraq?" It looks much more armored than the humvees the troops have over there.

At least he had a sense of humor about it. I would have been pissed.

HEAVILY ARMORED SWAT UNIT DEPLOYED AGAINST STUDENTS PETITIONING HEALTHCARE


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

August 1, 2009- Washington D.C.

A group of high school and college-age youth studying their constitutional rights at a national conference this weekend got a unique lesson on liberty from the local SWAT team. ‘Young Americans For Liberty” were told they didn’t have the right to free speech.

“You don’t have free speech,” said a Washington, D.C. SWAT Sergeant Dillon, who refused to give his first name, to YAL Events Director, Trevor Leach, shortly after the Sergeant stepped out of a heavily armored SWAT vehicle. Twenty students from the Young Americans for Liberty were peacefully petitioning at the National Mall in Washington, D.C., on the healthcare bill that is currently being discussed in Congress.

The students from across the nation, were taking part in the YAL’s National Convention being held in Arlington, Virginia.

The group is a non-profit organization that focuses advocating principles of limited government and mobilizing youth activists committed to “winning on principle.”

The students had hand-held signs arguing against the current healthcare legislation that is being debated in Congress and were inviting the public to sign a petition against nationalized healthcare.

The students had gathered approximately 800 signatures and enjoyed conversations with passers-by when they were forced to shut down their efforts while a Washington, D.C., police officer called in the SWAT team. Sergeant Dillon claimed the students were in violation of Federal regulations for demonstrating because they did not obtain a permit prior to their petitioning efforts.

“You can’t walk around here with your signs and giving out stuff,” the Sergeant said while a student videotaped the incident. Leach said the students were within Federal regulation 36 CFR 7.96 (g)(2)(i), which states “Demonstrations involving 25 persons or fewer may be held without a permit.” According to the regulations, the hand-held signs the students were carrying were also permitted under the regulation.

During the exchange, the SWAT team member reached for his taser and asked Leach if the group would “disassemble or are we going to jail?” At that point, the group stopped their endeavor.

“I am extremely disappointed in the police officer’s blatant disregard for our First Amendment rights. Our youth activists are very passionate about issues such as health-care and we are frustrated that we were not able to complete our petitioning events,” Leach said. The video will be used to help students understand more about the implications of standing up for their rights, Leach said, adding that students will be able to view the episode on You Tube.

Since when has any government feared the people?
Government is simply a group of individuals who have been given the monopoly on legalized violence and plunder.

Government doesn't work.

the monopoly was granted at first, to protect your property from forces too big for you the defend against.
just because that isn't what its used for today doesn't mean it can't work.

Your alternative if a fairy tale land. So save it for another thread in the off topic section.

So sensationalism and fear mongering by the media is only okay when Ron Paul supporters it's about Ron Paul supporters, right? Nice job blowing the situation out of proportion

Unless there was an entire SWAT unit in that vehicle just meant for Ron Paul's Special Youth, they didn't deploy anything. Most federal agents are trained to have their hand on their gun holster when confronting any group of people, so even if he "reached" for his tazer, it's trivial.

Also, you could've said that you were individuals and not with a group and you would've been free to yell and hold signs, but you wanted attention and YouTube fame, so you didn't.

"OMFG ITZ GONNA B ON UTUBE OMFG" In the end, that's all you did. You just held your cell phones up and didn't actually defend your rights.

While I was not at that particular location, I did put together the video with the help of some other YAL members. I would like to clear a few things up.

First, we do believe that there was indeed an entire SWAT team inside the armored vehicle. In the video, he clearly threatens us with: "Or I'm gonna call all those people over there [referring to SWAT vehicle] and we are gonna take ya'll to jail"

In regards to the taser, he didn't just simply reach for it. The taser was located below his gun holster. After Trevor called him out for not enforcing the laws, citing the First Amendment, he reached down and clearly unstrapped the Velcro strap and placed his hand on the taser.

At this point, he gives Trevor an ultimatum. Either GTFO or get arrested. Trevor looks at the time, because we were supposed to return to base at 12:30 PM, and decides to go ahead and leave.

Hopefully that clears up some things. :)

you did notice that those guys in militarized gear were ready to use force to imprison sovereigns? Full armored truck and all...
Kent State is only a few choice words away... had the young gentle told the cop to shove his unconstitutional bullshit up his ass and then stood his ground their would have been blood on the ground.

Sort of like in my state; in order to buy a gun (get a permit) you have to sign a document saying you won't use the gun to overthrow the government.


Agreed, was well worth the time and effort.

"I want to overthrow the gubment, but I signed that permit, damn!"

I'm pretty sure that vehicle is called a Lenco Bearcat. I don't know whether or not the DC Police department is in control of the SWAT, but you could contact them and ask if a Lenco Bearcat was deployed and how many officers were inside.

A lot of YAL members had cameras and cellphones based on the video so if more video could be uploaded, we could see if there were any others in the SWAT vehicle.

Somehow I doubt Dillon or any of his JBT colleagues would actually march to their death "for his democracy". He knows that nobody in that group was going to stand up to him so he could be as big of a bully as he wants. But remember that bullies always cower after someone fights back. But no one ever fights back. And every time the People back down, the SWAT (Spectacular Waste of Ammo and Training) get just a little bolder. It's confrontations like that that will eventually ignite the real revolution. Somebody is going to tell the cop to go fuck himself and all hell is going to break loose. I don't need to fill in the details but I think yall know what Im getting at.


Btw, are we sure the JBT was a DC cop? Areas of DC like that are covered by federal LEOs moreso than MPD.
