Mike Stark Arrest Shareblue Media




http://digg.com/2017/mike-stark-violent-arrest

A reporter for Shareblue, a liberal website, was violently arrested and pinned to the ground by five police officers while covering the Virginia gubernatorial race on Saturday. The incident was captured on video. Mike Stark, who has critically covered Republican candidate Ed Gillespie's campaign, was at a parade in Annandale, Virginia filming Gillespie's campaign vehicle. According to Shareblue, a police officer approached Stark to tell him to move back.

A Fairfax County Mason District police officer demanded that Stark cease filming the vehicle and move back farther than the 20-yard distance already separating him from the vehicle. He was accompanied by a woman who had raised an objection to Stark's presence at a Gillespie campaign event just the evening prior.

After a brief back and forth, during which the police officer made clear that Stark would not be able to ask the gubernatorial candidate any questions at the public campaign event, Stark responded "f— this." At that point, the officer moved to handcuff Stark.

jerk from the fascist republican party goes up to the police and asks them to harass this man--------------is remarkable

I would file charges so fast, and then file charges against the police for inciting violence, and violating the 1st amendment protections
