Two arrests happened at 3:20 today, Peterson's Store between 9th and 10th on Morrison.
First, there was a man who was the first to be arrested.
The second, a person who was video-taping the arrest, became included when Officer Hunzeker #39600 of Central Precinct - located at 1111 s.w. 2nd, Portland, Oregon, 97204 (503) - 823 - 0097, arrested the videographer for allegedly "interfering with police". Officer Hunzeker would not allow a "release of property" to another individual upon requests. Included in the property of the second arrestee was both a video camera and several videotapes. Several citizens witnessnessed both arrests and claimed that police were arresting the videographer to "cover-up" a mis-arrest of the first to be arrested. The two were said to have been transported to Central Precinct. The officer driving the police car which held one of them said he was going to Central Precinct. Friends of the two said they called local Jail Support #'s and that people will be gathering at the "INJUSTICE CENTER" awaiting the release of those wrongly arrested.

Another guy got arrested on 10th during a peaceful and law abidding sidewalk march. He stepped of the curb at a red light and was warned that he was "done" and needed to leave. When he refused, he was arrested.
What can we do to address this ridiculous harrassment?
