[Slim Pickens]

until someone proves to me otherwise, the cops initially put their hands on the man for free speeching, in an open forum, too loud...(and really [censored] annoyingly)

The event was probably organized like this.

1) Get in line to use the mic.
2) Ask a question, any question.
3) Wait for answer.
4) If you're lucky, ask a follow-up question.
5) Sit the [censored] down and let someone else have their turn.

Any one of the event organizers could have (and probably did) ask the cops to remove him once he'd said his piece and gotten his answer. Free speech doesn't mean I have to be forced to listen, nor does it mean you have the right to keep talking after it's someone else's turn.
