I'd probably have actually pulled the cop's name since it's all public record.<BR/><BR/>Regardless, I admire what Jeff did. He defended his first amendment right as well as everyone else's. Its the duty of journalists to not only report on what is happening in the world, but also defend the amendments written in OUR constitution. He's truly an amazing reporter and people should keep an eye on him, in fact many of the reporters there are.Ted P.

And some of the inspections weren't executed properly.<BR/>While I agree that he probably could have avoided being arrested, the point is that he should not have been arrested for trespassing. The cops could have ALSO avoided this mess, and in fact were responsible to avoid it.CL Jahnhttp://manormaniac.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14947374.post-33473933306257233002007-10-30T09:29:00.000-07:002007-10-30T09:29:00.000-07:00The best part is when the reporter mention the PIO and mispronounced the last name ever so slightly, and the fatcop said "I dunno who that is." Then when he [fatcop] says the name of his PIO, it sounds just about the same as the name the reporter said. Maybe in the heat of the moment we all get a little stupid. <BR/><BR/>On the other hand, you could hear Jeff tell the photog that he thought they were going to arrest him, and if they did, he was to get it on camera. Kinda makes me wonder a little if he didn't *want* to get arrested. I mean, I had no idea who he was before this blew up. That little bit of controversy may have glossed up his career a little... all in the name of journalism and first amendment rights.WarLaurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07456418271961822074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14947374.post-56977997573372176222007-10-25T16:07:00.000-07:002007-10-25T16:07:00.000-07:00"Professional blog" is an oxymoron.<BR/><BR/>And look at the video: the cop is fat. Hence the label "fat cop." At least I didn't label him "dickhead," although I considered it.C.L.
