When Sarah Palin spoke in Grand Junction, Colorado the other day, a group of protesters tried to block her motorcade. CNN caught the incident on camera:
Here’s a pretty pathetic video put up by the protesters, hoping to catch an example of the police abusing them. That effort is utterly wasted, as the police handle themselves appropriately and with class throughout — including at the end, when the nearest police officer says “thank you” as he walks away from the frustrated cameraman (language warning): The protesters begin by shouting ‘off the sidewalk and into the street.’ They continue to play the victims, as they seek to silence Governor Palin. All along they act as if they’re being treated harshly, and at the end the cameraman is reduced to sneering like a grade schooler. The local community is currently voting pretty heavily that they were in the wrong on the local news website. Be sure to watch their report on this as well, to see just the sort of dim bulbs the police are dealing with.
