    You are correct and nowhere in that video does he push the officer away.

    The second he refused to leave or question the authority in the room, he was disturbing the peace, and creating a nuisance of himself and was going to be arrested the minute he left the facility. If they have to make up a police report, any contact made to walk away once he left the building would be automatically considered a defensive move, ergo resisting arrest.

    Like I said, welcome to the new and improved USSofA, comrade.

    It still does not say that was the reason that he was arrested. I hope that he did not do anything like really assaulting the officer. You should agree with that and move on.

    I'm stating that the meeting had a format, it wasn't an open meeting with an open floor for all discussion. Just because it was a function held open to the public to attend and possibly participate doesn't mean those in attendence have carte blanche over what is going to take place.

    And if this is an actual problem with the current local government not providing the people with the format which they want for open discussions, there are elections and I suggest they make some changes.

    It paraphrases the police report. The Baltimore Sun is the huge local paper. If you have anything to rebut what they are reporting, then please post it. Otherwise. it is stated as fact.

    Is there a link to a real news article, not just a blog?

    Amazing how so many people have absolutely no understanding of how the law works. Perhaps if they did a little research they wouldn't be so prone to embarrass themselves.

    I would be furious....and to threaten with jail time after some guy--who was in security guard capacity--not police officer capacity-- jumps in to manhandle....

    When we had major changes in our school district we were treated like people who needed to be heard. This totaltarian behavior in Baltimore is way over the top.

    No he didn't have the floor, he was interrupting a meeting, a police officer asked him to leave, he refused, he resisted the police officers attempts and pushed back, that is called Assault on a Police Officer, all an assault charge requires is touching, it why the statute calls for a fine of up to $2500 or up to ten years in prison, if you use a baseball bat or a knife, you get years, he'll get a small fine.
    That video proves every element of the two crimes with which he is charged.

    perhaps if you had children and had no control over their education that your tax dollars pay for and was dissed by an organization that should serve you and your child? You might be a bit more sensitive when your concerns are ignored?

    They chose not to engage....but opted to lay down the law. If you don't mind being controlled and maniplated like that then I'm sorry.

    He had the floor, that is the reason the folks kept saying, "let him talk". The problem is they didn't like the questions he was asking.

    He never resisted, everytime the officer pushed him back he stepped back.

    Telling a teacher how to teach usually is met with similar results . People don't like being told how to work , no matter how ignorant the methods and subjects are . Feel bad for the dad , he seems to care and he wants more accountability from teachers , something I think we would all like. The charges are (*)(*)(*)(*)ing ridiculous .

    He didn't have the floor, that wasn't the format of the meeting, the chair didn't recognize him, he was interrupting a school meeting.
    The video proves that.

    The officer asked him to leave, he refused, the officer had to push him, the officer shouldn't have had to push him, and he pushed back, that is assault on a police officer. The video proves that.

    You are wrong. The chair did initially recognize him. One member indicated that his question would be answered, but then apparently someone else decided not.

    Common Core is the Nationalization of education, put on by the way from the unconstitutional agency the DOE. It's sole purpose is to indoctrinate our children and take power away from the states in education.

    Where was the assault on a police officer? If it were me I would have already called Saul.

    Of note is that this woman is allowed to speak, to be able to engage in genuine dialogue. So what does she do ? She starts being insulting and condescending to the panel, and a host of other useless things, and is allowed to carry on until she gets flat out absurd and grossly disrespectful.

    Was the gentleman in Towson, MD, at all disrespectful of the panel ? No, he was not. He was hugely respectful. He was asking a question. What question did this Texas bimbo ask ?

    So we thank you for a fine contrast between Conservatives honoring freedom of speech and respect for a constituent in an open meeting, giving her more than fair opportunity. She violated that trust. The gentleman in MD did not.

    She still has the right to be disrespectful..... But yes she was hostile and the other guy was not that difference doesnt strip away eithers rights however as both were peaceful.

    On this I will disagree. She does not have a right to so clearly waste everyone's time so that she can insult the panel. In a meeting format such as this, there is a decorum expected if you are granted the opportunity to take up everyone's time. Using the microphone to go on a tirade is not included. She was given ample time to get to even a modest constructive point or question, and allowed to rant for longer than I would have given her. There has to be some parameters, because it is not just her time, it is everyone's time. She clearly went way too far.

    The gentleman in MD was not only respectful, but there were many calls from the audience to allow him to ask his question. Had he gone up there and just ranted about each panel member being a jackass, then we wouldn't be here defending him.

    The liberals asked him to leave for disrupting their school meeting, he refused and then resisted arrest with force from the video, that is why he is facing prison. If he didn't like the way things are done at public schools he could have sent his kids to private schools or home school them.

    Community college is a better option for children from oppressed backgrounds, they don't have the potential to go to universities, and he had no right to voice his concern there because there are other avenues. The questions are scripted to keep the meetings civilised and free from outbursts, like the one he induced.
