G20 Summit Arrest

The G20 Summit discussions have been, and continue to be, a controversial event, and as such, a number of protesters frequently arrive. Protected under the Constitution, men and women in this country have the right to engage in such peaceful protests. The first amendment states:

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances"

With that stated, I post the following clip. In all fairness, I am not sure what took place prior to this particular point in time, but what I do know, is that the US military was acting with force against a group of, what appears to be, people who have goatherd to peaceably assemble at the G20 Summit
