Female Veteran Arrested and Brutalized After No War With Syria Rally

I want to share with you a video that I took while attending the No War With Syria Rally in Philadelphia on Saturday. This kind of police brutality is going on in our own back yard.

Emily Yates, a United States Military Veteran was enjoying shade under a tree after marching in a "No War with Syria Rally". She was asked to move by Federal Parks Police. When she asked why she could not stand there they arrested and brutalized her.

"WE LIVE IN A POLICE-STATE!"

... Is this the America that you want to live in?
