Ron Paul supporters beaten, arrested by police
A husband and wife from North Carolina, both public supporters of Ron Paul have, in front of the house they own, an American flag in good condition displayed. Upside down. With a photo of George Bush pinned to it and the words 'out now' written on the photo. The flag is in perfect condition and nothing is permanently attached to it. The police in Asheville, North Carolina decided that this couple was 'desecrating' the flag and came up to their house. They told him they were not desecrating or disrespecting the flag, the respected it and this country, but we are in a time of distress in this nation. The deputy told them North Carolina prevents desecration of the flag and if they did not take it down, he would arrest them. So, they took it down, and went inside to put it away, closing their door. The deputy then knocked on the door and demanded to be let in and they produce identification to him. They asked if he was arresting them for a crime. He said no, but they had to identify themselves. They pointed out that North Carolina does not have a law requiring them to identify themselves to police if they are not being arrested. The officer then started screaming and kicking the door. The couple's neighbors by now were all outside watching this so there are several witnesses and they all describe the same thing. The officer finally kicked through the door's window, and opened the door from the inside. He then stormed into their house and started beating the husband viciously, arrested him, and put him and his wife both in jail for: - resisting arrest - assaulting an officer - desecration of the flag of the United States of America http://www.citizen-times.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=200770725118===============================================
