Man arrested on Portland courthouse steps Protesting Torture Policies

A man (protester)who went up on the 9th circuit courthouse steps in Portland arrested around 1:00pm Thursday 10.29.09
A man who I don't know, who I think was a doctor, was handing out fliers that spoke out against judge Bybee approving torture policies ...went up on the Pioneer Courthouse Steps and was arrested

To me it looked like he was arrested unjustly

The security guards were telling him to leave
One guard was in his face about it, when the man yelled back at him "get out of my face"
Well that was all it took ...the guards (2 or 3) then took him into handcuffed custody through their front doors.

I captured it all on film ((( i )))

It looked like "good old-fashion Fascism" to me

Step out of line, they will come, to take you away

Hey man,

Interesting! Well, it's good it wasn't the Lone Vet again, right?! Are you able to provide links to the video, or does that bring the wrath of the cops down on you because of your previous run-ins with them?

Keep fighting the good fight!! See you out there sometime!
