Flooding, Magnolia Avenue, Cambridge MA

Cambridge MA City government is replacing the water tunnels under Magnolia Avenue. During construction there is no access to the catch basins so the water from a Monsoon-like storm created a new lake. These images were captured on June 8, 2012 at about 6:00 PM.

Milwaukee Thug Police Arrest Gov. Scott Walker Supporter

Notice how the union thug supporters cheered when this Marine veteran was arrested. It shows without reservation how these libbies do not support the constitution. They make no distinction between legal and illegal, they blur the line between public and private and can't tell the difference between rights and privileges. Shameful how ignorance is spreading thanks to the teachers union thugs who destroyed the education system. Thanks to Obama and Holder they increase lack of respect for the rule of law. They should hope that the rest of the citizens will continue to extend to them their rights without attacking them as they attack others. Police in civilized jurisdictions protect the rights of threatened individuals. Even Cambridge MA police allow some conservatives to speak, and to assemble. But in Milwaukee where police libbies rule contrary to law, they ensure that this veteran lost his right to protest, his right to petition and his right to redress. The genius officer told the veteran, "You're going to get your ass kicked." If that was so why didn't the police protect him instead of arresting him? 
[From video description]
Without being told what I had done, I was handcuffed and escorted off premise. Placed in a squad car and taken to a police station. I asked if I should have my rights read to me and was told "You're not being arrested." My personal property was taken from me, I was fingerprinted, mug shot taken and locked in a dark jail cell (lights off) still handcuffed. I sat in that jail cell, looking out of a meshed wire window, at a large American flag flying in the background. Where am I? How can this be happening? What did I do wrong? I prayed for strength. When I swore the oath to protect and defend the Constitution, I never realized until recently, how vulnerable our precious freedoms actually are. I did nothing wrong. There were literally hundreds of cameras at this event. I challenge all media to find one shred of evidence, which would support the actions of the Milwaukee PD officers.
