Demographer missed a perfect opportunity to ask the possible OEO what specific municipal ordinance made OC illegal? And since the videographer was NOT CITED for anything I do believe the OEO was just blowing smoke and acting under color of law to violate the rights of the OC'er by giving UNLAWFUL COMMANDS!

why the girl answered any questions is a mystery....the cop never said she was detained...
How can not doing something be resisting anyway? Retardation. The detainment would be unlawful and blah blah blah .. resisting goes bye bye
