Does this have an article behind it, or is it just video?

[bludstone]

added a link to the article. You can read the newspaper shifting the focus and making a fuss about one guy open carrying at the time.

I'd prefer if you included the text of the article, but it isn't necessary, as long as people are aware it is available.

Due to the theory behind mob mentality, guns should not be present (or open-carried, specifically) during protests - there's no use for them during peaceful protest. However, if others had open-carried their weapons, they also deserved to be arrested if this one young man was.

Storming the police station should never be acceptable, and it will only hurt their cause.

welp, you didnt read the article, thats for damn sure =)

[cesaretech]

Sorry, I hadn't refreshed to see you had posted an article.

[cesaretech]

So the person they arrested wasn't the one carrying? It was the one who got token in public?

at this point, dumb fat white men are appearing in my nightmares.

How does, "only arrest the black guy" jive with, "Three people were arrested at the demonstration, which was deemed as a “420 celebration,” said Ryan McGuire, 29, who moved to the city two years ago from Utah as part of the Free State movement." from the article...

just out of curiosity.

Watch the videos. The other 2 people arrested were arrested for 'getting in the way' of the cops arresting the black guy. (One guy was standing in the way of the cruiser, the lady was filming the cops, asking if they would do it to their own kids)

Even though dozens of people were toking up.

NGL, these kind of protesters are so annoying to me. -_-;

The guy got arrested. Okay. You don't think it's fair. That's fine. But don't hinder an investigation and then bitch about it when they arrest your ass too.

[bludstone]

Pretty sure every single person just shut up when they were arrested. Getting arrested in support of a cause in an american tradition that these people were practicing.

[xevochic]

Bitch as in flailing around and practically resisting arrest, not just verbal outcry. And, yeah, it's usually best to shut up, because they can use what you say and do against you if it goes to court.

an american tradition
I hope by that you mean the protesting and not the actual weed smoking. Because if you meant the later, you are just being ridiculous.

george washington smoked weed.
