Any action planned against Nashville Police?

re: arrest of protester? http://www.tennessean.com/local/archives/04/09/57692425.shtml?Element_ID=57692425
Seems we should organize a protest or something. Anyone know if Scott is planning to sue?

edit: Just googled: Harden apparently likes ramming her horse into things. She also apparently still has a job x( http://www.police.nashville.org/news/media/2005/03/30c.htm

...from about 10 feet away. I would be happy to put down my observations but I don't have time to put it down now and I don't feel like putting something down just to get flamed by someone because it wasn't the version they wanted to hear. The story in the Tennessean is not accurate. It leaves a lot of things out and says some things happened when in fact they did not. I will check back later to see if there is any interest in what really happened.

I wont' flame you, but I might ask questions. I wasn't there, so I can only go on what I've read. If there is more to it, I'd rather be informed, than to continue spreading misinformation.
Thanks

...The protesters were on one side of the street, on public property waiting for W to drive by. Some people crossed the street onto a private yard and the homeowner asked them to leave. She was angry and looked it. It was a bit amusing, in fact, to see how angry she got. The protesters returned to the public property side of the street but then some more returned to the ladies property. She came out of her house to confront them but the police asked them to move and they did. It was then that Scott walked over to the other side with his protest sign. It was clear to me that he went over there to get arrested. The police pleaded, literally, with him to return to our side. At this point let me say that our side of the street was just as good a place to be as the other side. He gained no visibility advantage by being on the other side and I, along with others were also pleading with him to return to our side. Other younger protesters were encouraging him in what he did and encouraging others to join him. At this point the secret service materialized and a plain clothes officer who was pretending to be a protester ran across the street to Scott. The plain clothes officer ran right by me and I almost reached out to grab him thinking he was a protester going to get arrested too.

During all of this time some protesters were trying to photograph the incident and Officer Harden was interposing her horse between the cameras and Scott. Eventually the police did arrest him and take him away but Scott was back with us in about an hour and I had assumed that they had decided against filing charges. They must have released him at the scene because he could not have gone through the booking process that quickly.

The police did not ask the W supporters to move off of the property as the story implied to me. They only asked them to move away from the road. Of course the supporters were there with the permission of the homeowner.

As we all know the media screws up all the time :)

I guess my question is though, how do you think they got from that to Hardin "bumping" him into the street, supposedly on video? I wish the video had been made public.

If I had such a video, I would have put it on the internet after legal issues were done with. That fact alone lends credence to your version, in my mind. I must admit though I am still curious, as the charges were dismissed and the article if incorrect, is rediculously misinformed.

If true, the writer from the Tennessean is the one who should be fired and not Hardin.
