Flower Vendor's Violent Arrest Proves We Live in a Police State

• http://www.dcclothesline.com

Because 52-year-old Juanita Mendez-Medrano decided to sell her flowers without a permit, the police decided violence was the solution. A widely circulated video of a police officer arresting a flower vendor in California is sparking outrage. The woman was violently arrested for selling flowers outside a graduation ceremony without first begging the government's permission.

In a statement by the Riverside County Sheriff's Department detailing the incident, officers "contacted, warned, and cited" other vendors at the event for not operating with a permit. When officers contacted Mendez-Medrano, the sheriff's office claims that she resisted, and was then arrested.

She resisted the citation they tried to give her, claiming she can freely sell her goods without first asking permission from the state. That's all. It seems like Mendez-Medrano just wanted to be free to sell her flowers without begging permission from her master. This is everything wrong the government and the police in one story and it isn't like these cases are few and far between either. Freedom is gone in the United States, and you've buried your head deep in the sand if you feel otherwise.
