We Must Tar and Feather Mike Weight
For those of you that missed it, Mike is the officer that grabbed Cindy Sheehan out of the SOTU hall and arrested her. Yes... a building she helped pay for and maintain. The People's hall. Her crime? Protesting. She was wearing a `disruptive' t-shirt.
Sometimes we are given rare gifts. This is one of those times. Thank you Cindy for getting his name.
We can't touch Bush, Cheney, or the rest of the crew. But we CAN make this guys life a living hell. Now I know some of you are saying "This guy was just doing his job" or "This might be a bad place to focus attention". I disagree. It's the little guys that are vulnerable. ALL little guys are vulnerable and we need to make an example out of this guy of what even the Conservatives do with their `liabilities'. We all know that when we put the squeeze on this guy, the media will probably try to make him out like a hero. A modern day Uber-cop. Meanwhile, Cindy's story gets more and more play.. continuing to take the wind out of Chimpy's sails.The press will pick this one up. They love those personal little stories where they get to spin. Let them spin. This is all about Cindy's story getting more play, and the chance to set things streight (Just like Dean is doing over Abramoff)
This is also about `taking care of our own'. We HAVE to get Cindy's back on this. Do you think that Mike want's his name SPLATTERED EVERYWHERE as the guy who roughed-up Cindy Sheehan? When it comes time to protest other events, do you think his fellow officers will handle it differently when they come to arrest YOU? Trust me, they will be certainly thinking of the Schiavo-like media circus that went around their co-worker. They won't be so quick to jump on a protester. Remember, he knew he was in SERIUOS shit the second someone pointed out it was Cindy. His demeanour changed considerably.
We can do this. Start at the bottom and work our way up. Who was Mikes boss? Who did his training? Why are they breaking the laws of the constitution? I think this calls for Sherlock Google.
