Journalist Bob Tuskin arrested for "The Building 7 Challenge"

In today's Corbett Report on the "9/1 1 Suspects series", James pointed out a youtube video of Journalist Bob Tuskin (I'm not familiar with him) who presents a video of the WTC building 7 collapse on 9/11 and presents it to the public to get their opinion.

Bob was arrested after there was a complaint about what he was doing. He asked the charge, they said "Trespassing" he agreed to go, and they arrested him. Free Speech, nah, this is a post 9/11 America.

Here is the video.

He wasn't arrested for the challenge.
He was being stupid.
Now he has a record.
Good luck on that new job offer.

Being "stupid" is a crime? Or can you explain what he did, and the Cops action. Thanks.

"What am I being arrested for officer."

"Anything we feel like."

Edit: the lesson here is protest anything you like online, just don't carry it real world.

Trespassing on public land? That is a public area, no?

We let them get away with it.
And that's why they keep doing what they do.
When the powers were allowed to proclaim, forty years ago, that the murder of John F. Kennedy was the work of a lone gunman - a conclusion virtually no one ever believed - the American people sent a signal to their leaders that they could basically get away with anything they wanted, and the people would not significantly - and certainly not effectively - object.

What kind of human garbage wants someones livelihood taken away for trivial bs?

You probably have singlehandedly provided the worst comment on ATS I've seen in a while.

This was absolutely absurd. This guy was doing nothing wrong. Is the University of Florida's campus public or private property? Either way, to arrest this guy after he said he was going to pack up and leave is nothing short of Authoritarianism. We have enough real criminals in this country to arrest and put behind bars. Not innocent citizens trying to exercise their right to free speech. Disgusting.

Bit of a weird one for sure.

The problem however with these kind of videos is that they are always only giving one side of the story due to the way the videos are being edited. For all we know there has been some clever edited to skip out the part where this guy tells the officers he wants to kill them or whatever. I am not saying that is what happened only that there are two sides to this story and we are only being told one side, probably something worth remembering. The guy who edits the video gets to pick what we see and as such pick what we get to know.

But they arrested him when he didn't even defy them. He merely asked for an explanation. Do you believe people who would do this would not act even more despotic had he threatened them?

So when does Mark Dice get arrested?

He is always trespassing.

Arrest the arrestors.

The crime being committed here, is the Police are using powers they do not have authority to exercise.

False arrest and detention, preventing a member of the Public from peacefully going about his business, and probably a whole host of other charges that can be levelled at those 'Police' making the false arrest.

If you want this...do and say nothing. Because this is exactly what the entire country will be getting used to if you do or say nothing.

I say, throw the bloody book at those sorry excuses for Police officers.

Ya seems odd, from the limited footage we have. It could be he was told to move along before hand and didn't go what they thought was far enough. Cause that is a lot of police for a couple people and a laptop, just to happen to pop up. Betting the seller stand he was next to didn't like him being right there next to him.

Not sure if you're trolling, schilling or just plain ignorant.

If you're in the business of swaying online public opinion, might I suggest using a bit more tact and subtlety?

I assume this must be a side job, as most of your work seems rather amateur. Maybe you'll make it to the big leagues someday.

Good luck with that.

In today's Amerika? Never happen.

The police, like many politicians, are a protected class. The prosecution rate is very low unless the public is wound-up. I'm also convinced there is jury tampering in a number of police trials that do occur. How else can we explain the aquittal of these violent, uniformed perps in the face of overwhelming evidence?

This has to change -- whatever the mechanism employed.

This is unbelievable
The US is now as bad as the communist states ruled over by despotic leaders
There is nowhere to go from here, the cops acted like they were doing right when they should have known, have known they didn't have any right to do that.

When people in power excercise their authority unjustly, are allowed/encouraged/told to, then the society has fallen
