ABC Reporter Arrested in Denver Taking Pictures of Senators, Big Donors

[HorseArcher]

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.

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 producers arm behind him to put on handcuffs.

A police official later told lawyers for ABC News that Eslocker is being charged with trespass, interference, and failure to follow a lawful order. He also said the arrest followed a signed complaint from the Brown Palace Hotel.

That's odd, cops and Democrats conspiring together?

What is this world coming to?

I don't really have a problem with this.

"VIP donors" could cause all the headless chickens (the media) to go into a tabloid frenzy over corporate interest.

Read: Businesses have guided policy for quite a while now, get used to it. Who do you expect a senator to listen to- a powerful, well-connected, rich executive or a middle-aged guy holding a sign yelling WHAT THEY TOLD YOU TO YELL IN THE FIRST PLACE.
