Don't give a LEO a reason to arrest you. If he feels threatened he will cuff you and let the courts sort it out.
These protestors should take a leaf out of the tea parties book, rally, protest, shout all you like but don't engage the police, don't shout at them, don't call them names. Let them remain on the sidelines, don't pull them into your rally. From what I was told, this is where these guys got themselves into trouble.

His feelings, absent the commission of an actual crime, are not reason for arrest in a free republic.
None of those things are crimes, and none merit an assault and kidnapping by goons wearing government-issued costume jewelry.
I absolutely agree with you, but I am talking about the real world, not the one we all wish we lived in. Those "gov't goons" can cause a person a great deal of trouble. Better to avoid both the rap and the ride. I imagine if these guys did not commit a crime they will be released and not charged, does that make it right--nope but it is what we have right now. Be careful out there people.
Mmm, that's a good point. After all, the last thing a free people should do is ever get uppity at a protest. Much more effective to quietly pretend anybody is paying you any attention, and go home after you feel like you've "made a difference" in being ignored for an afternoon.
Actually it is much more effective to call your representative. Meet with them. Go to town halls. Write the governor. Stay abreast of the issues.
Quite honestly I would not be surprised if the activists got arrested on purpose to bring the issue higher into the public discourse. It would not be an uncommon tactic. If so the VSP did them a favor.
Got me there citizen. Spot on in all accounts. The only thing I will say is if you tickle the scorpion on it's tail be prepared for the sting. If you are exercising public disobedience to shed light on a bad law/situation be ready for the consequences.
SNIP You know in my line of work, you gotta be able either to sing "The Battle Hymn Of The Republic" or "Dixie" with equal enthusiasm... dependin' upon present company.
