Just wanted to let everyone know that all charges against Ian have been

dropped, and he has been released. We're assuming that the next step will

be to file a complaint against the cop who beat him, so our call for video and witnesses stands. Thanks, everyone, for your good wishes.

The cops were probably mad that you were being a disgrace to your country with your anti american sentiment. I can't really hold the police responsible for your public disruptions. What are they supposed to do? Give you a hug for giving them trouble. A lot of cops served in the military and were probably pissed off that all of you seem to be on the side of the enemy. Maybe now you have a littel taste of what the Iraqi citizens get daily from Saddam. So go hug a tree and forget about it. Those officers were just trying to do their jobs.","author":"Don't protest against our troops","parent_id":41059,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-03-27 08:33:04","modified":"2003-03-27 08:33:04","fileurl":""},{"id":41341,"heading":"We are not protesting the troops...","article":"...we are protesting their cowardly Chicken Hawk leaders who wouldn't know a round from a square.\r\n\r\nOur men have been betrayed by a cabal who could care less about their well being as long as their deaths improve the Chicken Hawks personal interests.\r\n\r\nIf you are too stupid to see through the rhetoric and actually look at the facts then you are part of the problem.\r\n\r\nPolice exist to protect the community and defend our rights - not to behave like Storm Troopers for the Politically Correct Brown Shirt Right.","author":"Diogenes","parent_id":41059,"mime_type":"text\/plain","created":"2003-03-27 08:38:37","modified":"2003-03-27 08:38:37","fileurl":""},{"id":41366,"heading":"DITTO","article":"Exactly, Diogenes.
