So, it is okay for the Iowa State Patrol and the DMPD to grab, drag, arrest, and incarcerate overnight 38 Occupy Des Moines demonstrators (who were demonstrating in solidarity with the Occupy Wall Street movement) on October 9, 2011, blatantly violating our First Amendment, charge them with trespassing and then drag them through the court system, but when Joe Fagan, a non-violent activist and one of the kindest people I know, allegedly touches state Rep. Greg Forristall, he is prosecuted. Apparently, the Iowa State Patrol and government officials are a special class of citizens and above the law.
