L'homme a éclaté pour exposer le premier amendement

Révérend Billy a été arrêté et a détenu la nuit passée tout en exposant le premier amendement dans la place des syndicats. La police a réclamé le sien le prêchant harcèlement constitué de la masse critique de ce mois au « d'un fonctionnaire public ». Le NYPD a une histoire de quelques arrestations controversées aux événements de la masse critique, et enfin le nombre de la nuit de police a pratiquement dépassé les cavaliers. Du communiqué de presse nous avons reçu :
« … unaffiliated même des cavaliers ont été étiquetés pendant qu'ils approchaient le parc. Reverend Billy and his partner Savitri D were reciting the First Amendment to the United States Constitution to the gathered police force when Lieutenant Daniel Albano, head of the NYPD’s Legal Division, ordered the Reverend’s arrest and detention at the 13th Precinct station. It is believed Albano is the public official Reverend Billy has been charged with harassing.”
This brings up ongoing concern over protecting civil liberties and rights to free assembly and political action. However, it also draws attention to selectively enforced Parade Laws, drafted by the police and passed into law by the City Council earlier this year. The law criminalizes gatherings of more than 50 people that do not have permits. Something the press release points out is that “while the NYPD surrounded and intimidated last night’s Critical Mass cyclists, a line of several hundred shoppers formed just across the street to purchase the new iPhone, blocking pedestrian traffic and forcing people to walk in the street.”
As of now, Reverend Billy is being held at 100 Centre Street, awaiting arraignment. Hopefully he’ll be out for tomorrow’s Hot and Holy Highline Revival show!
