I'm having trouble uploading video obviously Kat, an ACLU rep, was just arrested. It was brutal. I have video. I don't know how good it is They have corralled press away from everything They have ordered everyone without a press pass to leave

"you, bar security! No press pass. Time to go" " I'm not bar security anymore, I'm an armed security guard" "no one cares. Get out of here!"

While I'm trying to upload the actual video, I'll describe what I saw I crossed the street and she was on the ground. She screamed that they were hurting her. "No one is touching you" they said dismissively

Then they grabbed her ziptied wrists and hauled her up. I can't imagine this didn't hurt her shoulders They said she was grabbing them. "I'm not" she said Then they turned out the lights Then I turned on my light
