SubscribeCode Pink Harridan Busted By Denver Cops
From Denver’s Rocky Mountain Times:
Code Pink protester still in jail after skirmish
By Paul A. Anthony, Rocky Mountain News
August 26, 2008A Code Pink protester shown on video being shoved to the ground by a police officer’s baton and later hauled away remains in jail on a charge of interfering with an arrest but should be released tonight, Code Pink officials say.
Alicia Forrest was arrested outside Civic Center after confronting officers and asking them questions about another arrest they were making, said Sally Newman, legal liaison and spokeswoman for the group.
“She was one of a number of people trying to find out where this person was being taken,” Newman said. “They just arrested her along with him.”
The video shows an officer quickly shoving Forrest with the length of his baton, forcing her to the ground with a smack. Later, as she was speaking with reporters, the video shows police coming behind her and dragging her away.
Lt. Ron Saunier, a police spokesman, said the 30-second video is “kind of jumpy” on his computer and doesn’t give the full context of the situation.
“Just shown in that context, you don’t get what the whole dynamics or the full situation is,” he said.
Richard Rosenthal, Denver’s independent monitor, who saw the video online at the request of the Rocky, said the incident warrants additional review.
“Obviously, looking at that, I’d want to look at the use of force report. I’d want the department to look and evaluate,” he said.
Rosenthal declined to share his initial thoughts on the officer’s actions.
“I can’t do that,” he said. “My job is to maintain objectivity until the completion of an investigation. What I can say is I think that that warrants additional review … But I have to maintain objectivity on anything because you can’t rush to judgment.”
Code Pink posted a $500 bail for Forrest, and the group expects her to be released in four to six hours, Newman said.
“It’s really frustrating that we have this incident of violence now,” she said…
It’s about time these terrorist supporters were put in their place.
Of course, as the video clearly shows, the officer barely nudged her. But the Code Pinkers have long since been trained to always act as if they are being brutalized.
We do wonder if Mr. Conyers paid the $500 bail as usual, or did the money come straight from Mr. Soros this time?

That looked fairly realistic. I wonder if there is a training camp where they have pink-clad police officers poking pink-clad protestors with pink batons so they can practice that.

I have to guess that this article/incident is the follow-up to the Code Pink not getting enough press?
What a crock - anything for a nanosecond on the leftist, foaming at the mouth moonbat sites. . .
These losers don’t realize how lucky they are that someone just doesn’t end their life quickly, painfully and permentantly - or that the kind of society (calling Medea Benjamin) that they are extolling deports, jails and kills their agitating types on a daily basis. . .

I want to see these officers swinging these batons like they mean it!
BTW, loved the “producer” of that piece. I wonder if he wears a lot of black clothes and turns his baseball cap around backwards?

This may be politically incorrect to say (can that be done here???) but the officer seemed to use excessive force. I’m sure the clip was cut up to make it look as bad as possible and in fact I was hoping the chick would get arrested after she was said “A gentleman was getting arrested” because (A) I doubt he was a gentleman and (B) why are these idiots protesting at THEIR convention?
Ponderous, man, f*ing ponderous.

Rather than nudging her, the police officer should have immediately cuffed her and taken her into custody for interfering with an arrest.
The Denver PD is desperately trying not to make any arrests, as evidenced by yesterday’s incident with Michelle Malkin. If screaming “fire” in a crowded theater is a crime, then chanting “Kill Michelle Malkin” among an angry crowd of agitators warrants police intervention. Fortunately, that kook didn’t physically attack her, although it looked like he would at any moment. Is that what it would have taken to get the police to act? Not good crowd control, and certainly not an effective way to make a visitor feel safe in your city.
Rather, the cops sat idly by and watched the tense situation escalate. One would think after watching MM handle the situation yesterday, they would have learned restraint. But, now we’re seeing that they’re losing their patience and becoming more aggressive.
Frankly, after they ignored the assault on MM in public yesterday, the Denver PD deserve whatever grief these protesters dump on them. If they think for a second that any one of these clowns won’t file a civil lawsuit against them, they are sadly mistaken, which is why they should have been enforcing the law to the letter from the beginning. You give them an inch, and they’ll take the mile-high city.

Hi all, yeah I’ve been hiding out since the lunatics have embarrassed my party for the last week but….
Listen to what she says right before the push with the baton, 7 seconds in. “Fu…ng do it again” And he did, lmao.
I hope SanFran is taking notes on how to handle these tools.

Sweet take down, but he needs to work on his follow up techniques….. like stomping on her neck for instance.

Well, if they want to “Recreate 68″, I guess they need a little police brutality to throw into the mix. Still, it was nicely stage-managed. I give it a thumbs up.

That’s what they yearn for? Recreate ‘68 and bring back Camelot? How pathetic can you get? Not only is it completely pathetic but they can’t even make up their minds - Bring back anarchy AND monarchy?
