POLICE BRUTALITY & POLICE STATE USA - ARRESTED for Entering a CHURCH



This video shows footage of two brothers being arrested after walking into a church in their hometown. Both men in this video maintain that they were doing nothing wrong, just exercising their rights on religion. Neither of them had anything dangerous or harmful on their person and both maintain that they were committing no crime, so why were they arrested?

The man filming these events states "if this isn't a violation of any kind of rights we've been fighting for, I don't know what is". Clearly these men are very angered by the situation as neither have done anything wrong, at least that's what they suggest. There is a possibility that, because we have only been given a snapshot of this event and we are only hearing the story from the victims, something else happened prior to filming, that potentially, these men were in the wrong. However, something tells me that due to the huge issue of police brutality in the US at the moment, the police were in fact violating their rights.

It begs the question, would this have occurred if the two men were white? Due to the issue of police brutality, especially towards black men, one must consider whether these men were arrested due to a crime or because of the colour of their skin? These men are correct, arresting them because they walked into a church is a violation of their rights, stated in the First amendment, they had, to our knowledge committed no crime.
