| 70. We should change our arrest-system. |
|
After someone is arrested, the cops should be required to bring him or her before a judge within an hour.
Under our current system:
"I was put on a paddywagon with other nonviolent protestors and taken to a parking garage in Parker Center. They forced us to kneel on the hard pavement of that parking garage for seven straight hours with our hands still tightly zipcuffed behind our backs. Some began to pass out. One man rolled to the ground and vomited for a long, long time before falling unconscious. The LAPD officers watched and did nothing."
