Where the police were shown on video tap arresting Dennis. The officer on the witness stand testified that he arrested Dennis after attemped to cause a riot and resisting arrest hitting a policy officer. The only problem with that testimony was that it wasn't true, and only for the fact that Indipendant video crews had taped it from the start to to the handcuffs. And the fact that the guy on the witness stand was not in any of the video. All Charges on Dennis were droped after the tape showed that deniss had done nothing illegal. The fact that the cop lied and that the court allowed his purgery to go unpunished has yet to be resolved. This new bus and people have the capability to on the web. When they in range of wireless access areas they will post updates to the site and chat with sponsor and online interviews. They are asking for the publics support of the Veterans For Peace asking the congress to start impeachment of President Bush. They all will be available for interviews by indybay media as well as the commercial press as we hope they still have the freedoms to seak the truth and speak and print it as that is the only true security and the honor our military and our veterans shed their blood for.
