News crew threatened with arrest if they didn’t turn over their footageFree speech in modern America: A news crew filming was temporarily detained and threatened with arrest on July 24 for filming at a national park.
Watch the video below the fold. The arrogance and ignorance of the Constitution by these officers is appalling.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

These corrections officers need to be fired! This is the only way to prevent this kind of abuse of power by our elected officials. Anyone who behaves this way must be properly reprimanded, as an example to other officers who may think they can get away with this. Unfortunately, too many elected democrats support these egregious abuses as a way to consolidate their hold on power. Parlous times, indeed!
At what point does this kind of stuff get slapped down quickly and firmly? Unfortunately, the answer may be a very, very long time from now after we’ve learned some harsh lessons.
From the article: “These confrontations between the media and public officials are happening more and more, and the public doesn’t know the half of it.”
An increase in such confrontations does not suggest that it is only a few officers getting out of line but suggests that a new attitude is permeating throughout the law enforcement community.
I suspect that this attitude of disregard for the Constitution trickles down from the attitude expressed by the administration.
Welcome to Obama’s America, land of the formerly free.
Edward is correct. There is a new attitude in law enforcement. American citizens are now considered a threat that must be controlled. It is what is being taught. My only quibble with Edward is that the trend started long before Obama. It’s only under his presidency that it has lept forward.
