Police drag protesters away from Palin motorcade
CNN
Tuesday, Oct 21, 2008
Protesters tried to block the motorcade of Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in Grand Junction, Colorado, on Monday, but police dragged them out of the way.
The incident — just feet from the car carrying Palin — was captured on video by CNN affiliate KKCO-TV.
Eight to 10 protesters broke away from a larger group of demonstrators and darted into the street in front of Palin’s car just after the first police motorcycles in her motorcade had passed, said Acting Chief Troy Smith of the Grand Junction Police Department.

Wearing bandanas and with their faces covered, the protesters blocked the path and held up a large banner. Officers stopped their motorcycles, grabbed the protesters and dragged several out of the path of the oncoming motorcade.
At least two demonstrators were tackled and forced to the ground before being pulled away. One officer fell backwards into the path of an approaching vehicle but he was able to get out of the way in time.

Wow! I used to live in Grand Junction up until the end of July this year. I missed all the excitement! Grand Junction is a beautiful place surrounded by beauty. I highly recommend a visit.

I’m all for protesting but these guys got out of hand, if a vehicle hit them they would be a big lawsuit & the police would be charged for not keeping them safe. That is just plain dumb running in front of a motorcade…..they got what they had coming……..

Dumb ass protesters ! If your an idiot enough to stand in the middle of the street while speeding cars go by then you deserve to be thrown to the ground i agree with rs if the police had’nt done anything the would be sued .By all means protest ,dont stand in the middle of the street though.Duh!

rs and Joke: Police have no legal obligation to enforce the law or protect anyone. The courts have ruled on this repeatedly and definitively. Their only punishment would be administrative (if the police chief didn’t like how they had acted) if there even was any.

I don’t know about you but i don’t need the police keeping me safe.I got a Remington 870 pump shotgun to pull my own security.

You fucking pussys go on about law suits? Go wank off you fucking cowards. Fuck you. Protesters. . .nice work, way to risk you own ass to make a point. That is what it’s all about right you fucking lame ass dick-shits.

And Palin says, “Golly geee, I now have experience in the trenches of urban warfare.”

Oh yea, making her ten minutes late for her hair appointment is really going to show those neocons in Washington that we mena business. Great job you dumb-asses!

Ohhhh , right sorry .I guess what I meant to say was fuck the police, and I hope those protesters get ran over .We should all get up from our chairs here to leep in front of speeding cars ,cause that way the N.W.O will get the point were trying to make.Prove me wrong (KevinAbt ,Paul Battis ,flintlock ) grab a camera ,get off your ass and show me how big your balls are .Be a man ,Get yourself killed ,we’ll all remember this as the day (KevinAbt ,Paul Battis ,flintlock ) took a stand as road kill and fought the new world order .Or we could just stick to proven methods at fighting these people I don’t know like ,exposure,documentaries,word of mouth,books,internet,web sites,flyers,phone calls,stocking up on food and water,buying guns and ammo,buying gold.But i guess that would be completely ridiculous so i’ll just go and jump in front of a car.

Cops have absolutely no obligation to protect people from danger. I am sure that these people would have loved to have died for their liberty and didn’t think twice about it. Had these people been struck by the motorcade it would have shown the United States government for what it is; cold, brutal and full of cowards. If Palin was a true leader she would be meeting with anyone not matter what political affiliation. All these people wanted was respect from their “civil servants”, not to be accused of creating mischief for mischief’s sake.

..get real here..as Palin is a STAR on SNL= HOLLYWOOD..

..look and see! McCain picked Palin for more “Sexual confusion!”
..oh! do not stop the new Marylin Monroe!

Therefore why can’t police routinely drag protesters wherever they want, like to jail?
Maybe they should have stayed in the “free speech zone.” Oh wait, that used to be THE WHOLE COUNTRY.

I too hated the vulgar way Governor Palin allowed herself to be treated in a sketch in which she willingly appeared on SNL. Just like when Al Gore allowed himself to be used on SNL, which was also totally inappropriate. It is like there is now two groups running the USA, the mafia and Hollywood, and both totally Zionist controlled.

I agree, the cops saved them from a NWO hit & run. They know it would be filed under a human sacrifice for Gia & Molech the OWL.
I hate to be a cop on election/Inauguration day when McBush steals 10 states and Fix News announces the winner first
