Denver part of China now?

Democrats and law enforcement in Denver have taken a page from the Chinese Communists and arrested a reporter for ABC News who was photographing and reporting from a public sidewalk in front of a hotel where many wealthy Democratic donors and senators were meeting. One officer was heard telling the reporter "You're lucky I didn't knock the f..k out of you." What a shame, what a disgrace. Apparently the Democrats have something to hide. Funny how paparazzi can harass and photograph anyone they want, wherever they want, but a national reporter is not allowed to report on a major political convention and the bigwigs associated with it. Shame on Denver first and foremost. I hope this situation gets major air time, and ABC files some major lawsuits, as this is an egregious breach of freedom of the press.
