Pajamas Media -- According to the police citation, (which (Name withheld) read over the phone) UPDATE: “During
a political rally, subject raised a protest sign above his head in a
manner that created danger to the public. Subject’s actions caused a
disturbance during a political rally.” The citation carries a $185 fine and has a July court date.
Mr. (Name withheld) is not in jail, but says that he will fight the citation on the grounds that he did absolutely nothing wrong and was exercising his free speech rights. (Name withheld) served in the United States Marine Corps from 1992 to 2000 and was honorably discharged. He was also a firefighter for 10 years in the state of Florida. (Name withheld) says that his time as a non-union firefighter has led him to suspect that the Wisconsin police officers may be acting as union members first and police officers second.
Here's another video of the protester just as he gets arrested:

Holding a sign that read, "Support Scott Walker, Not Union Thugs," (Name withheld), who identified himself as a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, confronted a number of Walker opponents before police intervened.
According to a report at Buzzfeed, (Name withheld) "angered many in the crowd, especially when he yelled 'Tell me how you're going to create jobs!' repeatedly as Barrett and Clinton spoke."
"One man in the crowd said he would 'take him out,' and a woman told him 'I'm a union thug and you're ignorant as hell," Buzzfeed added.
"I have no idea why I'm being handcuffed," he told reporters, as he was being led off. "They won't tell anybody what I did wrong. What rally specifically do I get to peacefully protest?"
According to the Milwaukee police, (Name withheld) "was issued a municipal citation for disorderly conduct when he refused to comply with Milwaukee Police orders to step back from his location where he was waving a large wooden pole with a sign mounted on it."
"Given his proximity to Mayor Tom Barrett and other dignitaries, officers believed he posed a threat with the large sign and was asked to move back," the police statement said.
But according to a tweet by the Weekly Standard's John McCormack, (Name withheld) "was 30 feet from Clinton."
A video of the arrest posted at Breitbart.com shows one police officer leading (Name withheld) away.
"You're going to get your a** kicked," the police sergeant said.
After (Name withheld) said he had a right to be in the park "like everybody else," the sergeant handcuffed him and led him away.
"A police officer on the scene would not say why the man had been arrested," Buzzfeed reported.
In a statement that seems somewhat at odds with the video of the arrest, the police department said:
**I have decided to withhold the name if the protester because of my concern for his safety.

On Friday, 39-year-old (Name withheld) , of West Allis, Wisconsin, was arrested at a rally for Milwaukee mayor Tom Barrett, where former President Bill Clinton also spoke.Holding a sign that read, "Support Scott Walker, Not Union Thugs," (Name withheld), who identified himself as a veteran of the United States Marine Corps, confronted a number of Walker opponents before police intervened.

OBAMA LEAKS SECRET INTELLIGENCE TO MEDIA FOR POLITICAL PURPOSE~THIS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED TREASON
NEW YORK POST COLUMNIST INTERVIEW REGARDING PAST, PRESENT, AND FUTURE OBAMA WHITE HOUSE LEAKS:
Krauthammer: WH Leaking Iran Intel To NYT Is A ‘Scandal’ BAIER: OK, the next topic is this cyber warfare that a big article again in the “New York Times” talking about how president Obama secretly ordered the increase of sophisticated attacks on computer systems in Iran, including the Stuxnet virus we’ve heard a lot about. There’s been some angst about this story and others recent days. Steve, intel officials are not happy with this.
HAYES: No. And I started the morning with intel people, national security people who are concerned about the leaks and the fact it was laid out on the pages of the “New York Times,” and that increased as the day went on. I talked to some senior former intelligence officials and he said David Petraeus needs to do a crime report and start an investigation into the leak. The bigger problem is one person said it appears to professionals that the information that they have been sworn to protect is being used for political purposes by the White House. That’s a problem in the intelligence community.
KLEIN: You played something earlier in the show that Leon Panetta said about cyber warfare and the idea that would be warfare. The implication is we may be at war with Iran over what went on. It’s stunning, a stunning revelation. And we are learning more about the president and how aggressive he’s been in some of the national security areas. And I think this is just — it’s a really fascinating development with a lot of potential tentacles. And it gets us into hot water potentially. The concept of retaliation would very much seem to be on the table.
KRAUTHAMMER: It’s beyond a problem, it’s a scandal. Leaking the details that we saw in that plan about a very, very highly secret operation, the name of the operation, how it worked, when it worked, how it leaked out, the fact that we his Israeli cooperation, the name of the secret Israeli unit. All that were missing were the Hebrew names of the Israeli agents and their street addresses in Jerusalem. You wonder how an administration could allow this and jeopardize what we have done simply as a way to boost the president in an election year. I think it is a scandal.
