Federal Agents Arrest Two Cannabis Advocates In Seattle May 3, 2011 - tokeofthetown.com
Rent-A-Cops Tackle Two Activists And Turn Them Over To The Feds
Footage of two CDC board members detained and arrested by Paragon Security, one on federal property, one in the middle of an intersection in downtown Seattle:
The United States federal government on Monday arrested two Seattle activists who were attempting to serve a cease and desist order on the Department of Justice in the wake of federal raids on medical cannabis dispensaries last week.
Medical cannabis activists had staged a protest at the federal building in downtown Seattle Monday afternoon. Private security guards indicated that it was a crime to take photographs near the federal building. Phil Mocek, a board member with the Cannabis Defense Coalition, asked for clarification of the policy, and was arrested by federal building security guards, who contacted Homeland Security agents for backup.
During the encounter, Mocek asked if the federal security guards were police officers, and they said they were not. Mocek then said he was leaving, and the security guard replied, "No you are not," assaulted and physically detained him, and with the assistance of Homeland Security agents, dragged him into the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building on Second Avenue in downtown Seattle.
During the encounter, private security agents from Paragon Security tackled another CDC board member, Greg West, in the middle of the crosswalk in Second Avenue, and dragged him from the public street into the federal building.
FOX Q-13 News was filming at the time the assaults transpired. CDC activists have footage as well, which has been posted to YouTube.
Mocek and West were released after several hours in custody, and issued citations for violating 41 CFR 102-74.385 -- "Which we understand as a charge of obstructing justice," said Ben Livingston of the CDC.
Despite the multiple charges of "obstructing justice," the activists were able to serve their cease and desist letter on the Department of Justice and U.S. Attorney for Western Washington Jenny Durkan, as well as on the Drug Enforcement Administration.

can i speak freely here?
first of all, i gotta say i 100% support the MMJ cause, and what those cops did is spookily wrong, granted....... but watching that video i just get so annoyed with all the protester-speak. "you are vio-lating our civ-il rights!" like she'd been practicing that line in front of the mirror for the past 10 years and now that she's got an audience she blows it with the robot-like delivery........and the dude-brah in the background isn't much better "That man is my brother!" i started laughing. i don't know, i'm just nitpicking, maybe i'm a little cynical, but if potheads can't make compelling videos of social justice, how we gonna change the world??
aight, i'm done

Which enemy is more perfect for a fascist regime to target? A single race which can be blamed for economic and social turmoil(Jews, blacks, Muslims, ect.)? Or one that transcends all race, creed, political affiliation, social, and economic status? Ie. users of a certain set of chemicals.
