Milwaukee police arrest FOX6 photojournalist at the scene of house fire
Moments leading to arrest caught on camera

Myra Sanchick FOX6 Reporter

1:40 p.m. CDT, September 21, 2011
WITI-TV, MILWAUKEE —

Milwaukee police arrest a FOX6 News photojournalist at the scene of a house fire on the city's north side Sunday night. The arrest came after a confrontation between a Milwaukee police sergeant and the photojournalist.

FOX6 News Photojournalist Clint Fillinger went to the scene of a house fire near 27th and Townsend late Sunday. He was shooting video behind yellow police tape alongside a small crowd that gathered to watch.

At that time, Fillinger says a Milwaukee police sergeant singled him out. He says the sergeant came at him quickly. Fillinger put up his hand in a defensive move and touched the sergeant. Fillinger was then knocked to the ground, handcuffed and arrested.

Here is the video he was shooting.

And here is the Philanderer Flynn claiming it was the camera man's fault. If you can stomach watching the tw*t waffle. The camera man? 68 years old and been shooting for 45 years. "I was shocked. All of a sudden I'm on the ground. My Camera is on the ground." At least we know Flynn was not lying. His troops will put anyone on the ground.

So, with evidence there is no Constitutional rights under Flynn's watch, "Police State" in unfortunately what we have in Milwaukee.

Good timing on the Milwaukee fire thing. I emailed Governor Walker just the other day about a couple things and also mentioned how Flynn runs a police department that doesn't respect the law.

Maybe with press attention, things will change.

Just to be clear (and I hope I don't get the arresting officers in trouble with their boss for saying this), but I was not put on the ground, etc., as the Chief instructed his "troops" to do in that very public & much-linked-to news conference.

Maybe you should get a federal probe going, like has been going on in Seattle (now the foreign Mayor and COP say they are going to re-write their police policy and procedures...don't hold your breath) and has been requested for Spokane.

If there is an inordinate amount (as per the article) of minority stops/ rights trampled/ the feds love to get into it. One good thing for us with a federal probe, if you have your rights trampled afterwards, you have ammunition to up the federal civil suit anty for teh "punitive damages"...that is,,,the department/governmental orginization did not change, and they need to be punished severly enough to actually gets their attention.
