Craigslist Proved My Innocence Against A Felony Charge



wearechange·Published on May 2, 2013

In 2011, Westpoint Graduate and Iraq Veteran Antonio Buehler was arrested for taking pictures of two cops abusing a woman they had pulled over in Austin, TX. He was accused of spitting in one of the cop's face and charged with a felony. Luckily for him, there was someone filming the whole incident from across the street and showed that it was actually the cops who were the aggressors. Since that incident, Antonio has launched the Peaceful Streets Program which aims to bring accountability to police and their actions and to encourage people to flex their rights by filming the police.

privacy on their phone, computer, etc...we should all film cops "enforcing the law." We know that cops are more likely to start violence than most people. When they testify (lie) they are usually believed. They will say anything. It has now become the majority of cops...

Or Oakland or LAPD? They are insured for that and it is just tax payer money. They are as bad as Baseball owners. That is a win for them to use that insurance fund. They have been paying for it, they feel entitled to it.

Have to face criminal charges. Even loss of occupation does not seem to be effective.

...and after they fail appeal them in federal. Of course, lawyers, money, corruption, etc., etc. And all -- at every level -- are as corrupt as hell.

- But it'll give us something to do while we wait for the others to wake up so we can start the revolution in earnest.....

An information revolution, fueled by videos and smart phones. An electronic pen, mightier than the sword.

At Fri May 3, 2013, 10:42 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Craigslist Proved My Innocence Against A Felony Charge
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1017116102

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

The links in this OP go to 911 truther and alex jones conspiracy theory baloney. The merchandise link (spam) even includes a 911 truther tshirt. Not sure why this is being dumped here on DU.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri May 3, 2013, 10:51 AM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: OMG, Alerter is correct. The linked organizations are complete whacko folks who spew the bilderberg, illuminati, truther garbage. I was all set to vote not to hide and then clicked on the links. I hope my fellow jurors did the research.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: You wasted my time with this alert because why? You think that the police are not abusing their authority? I followed all of the links provided and saw nothing that would worry me. 911 is the emergency number for police and fire...perhaps that explains your silly alert..you are clueless! 9/11, that's how we refer to dates.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: Posts should not be used to advertise and attemp to sell product.

Backside: Defend Our Republic Investigate 9/11
