They Told me if G W Bush was Re-elected Reporters Would be Arrested
SHARE DENVER--Police in Denver arrested an ABC News producer today as he and a camera crew were attempting to take pictures on a public sidewalk of Democratic Senators and VIP donors leaving a private meeting at the Brown Palace Hotel.
Remind me to not go to Denver
Police on the scene refused to tell ABC lawyers the charges against the producer, Asa Eslocker, who works with the ABC News investigative unit.
We have nuttin' ta say!
A cigar-smoking Denver police sergeant, accompanied by a team of five other officers, first put his hands on Eslocker's neck, then twisted the producers arm behind him to put on handcuffs.
Aw-right, putcher mitts behints ya!
I must admit, there are some reporters I'd like to try that on. But I would be arrested.
A police official later told lawyers for ABC News that Eslocker is being charged with trespass, interference, and failure to follow a lawful order. He also said the arrest followed a signed complaint from the Brown Palace Hotel.
Yeah 'E wuz trespassin' on this hear Publik Sidewalk! Sidewalks is fer the Publik, not fer some crummy reporter!
And the Hotel complained 'bout the smell! They even signed it! Youse guys just move along, now, er I'll putcha inna paddywagon!
