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.

Police on the scene refused to tell ABC lawyers the charges against
the producer, Asa Eslocker, who works with the ABC News investigative
unit.

(Click here to watch video of the arrest.)

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 producer's arm behind him to put on handcuffs.


The Nazis would be proud. :-(

Hopefully, ABC has enough lawyers on staff to slap a gazillion dollar
lawsuit against those thugs...


If they don't, I'd be very disappointed.

This is the a direct assault on press freedoms under the First
Amendment.
