Bernie,

You of all people, given your ethnic heritage, should know that without public dissent to unjust acts or actions by the government, the path to tyranny and oppression is too easy for those in power to follow.

He neither harmed nor threatened anyone (from what I can gather, he did not in any way threaten the officer) and was arrested for following his beliefs.

You and Lawdog apparently approve of the manner and circumstances surrounding this man's arrest and subsequent treatment.

One simple question: Is this justice?

Such people refuse to learn, except maybe by bitter experience -- an extremely expensive educational method.
