A tickle with one hand, a slap with the other

Balko has an update on Brooke Oberwetter, the Jefferson 1:

"They’re apparently now adding a second charge of “demonstrating without a permit,” and they’re bumping her case from D.C. court to federal court. They’re also expunging the arrest from her record." (Emphasis mine)

Don't do her any favors, guys. "Oh, we'll forget all about how we dragged you down to the station in irons, just to cover our rear ends, but we're not forgetting to file the charges. In fact, we're adding more, and then we're really going to stick it to you by making you deal with the Federal system. You will respect our authorita".

Who's making the decisions for the Park Police, Eric Cartman?

Here's where you can donate to a defense fund for Brooke, if you're so inclined. I was.
