The arrest affidavit for the felony obstruction charge says Cannon "did knowingly and willfully hinder Officer E. Dorval and Officer G. Sanchez of the Capitol PD, a law enforcement officer in the lawful discharge or the officer's official duties by Use of Threats of Violence, violence to the person of said officer by stomping on LT Langford foot three times during the apprehension and as she was being escorted out of the property. The accused continued on kicking LT Langford with her heels."
It's amazing how the "small details" are being left out of a thread.
"She's innocent!" shouts the Atlas Left. Why? Because SHE says so. Substitute "Marjorie Taylor Greene" for "Park Cannon" and see how this thread spins. Especially if the Governor were, say, Stacey Abrams. In that scenario would "dissent" have been "tolerated" by the Talk Elections Left?
Now I find it disturbing that this whole matter resulted in an arrest. I don't wish this woman to face formal charges, let alone go to jail/prison. This is America, and the last thing we need is more political prisoners. But this woman was arrested because she kicked a police officer giving her a lawful directive. I don't want people to think it's OK to commit batteries on Law Enforcement Officers just because you're not getting your way over some Wokeness issue that's important to you. Would Marjorie Taylor Greene have been justified in kicking a police officer or stomping his foot multiple times as Park Cannon is alleged to have done? Those sort of behaviors ARE felonies, and in every state in the Union.
Park Cannon had no right to kick that police officer's leg or stomp his foot. None at all. It was not justified, it was not an act of protest, it was a crime, and it would be a crime for any person of any race. I don't wish for her to be charged. An ideal, and even healing outcome would be for the charges to be dropped and for Park Cannon to apologize for kicking/stomping a police officer. That would be downright adult all around. I doubt Park Cannon has that kind of decency and humility, but I certainly wish the charges dropped (and dropped soon), regardless of what the actions are. She's not a victim, however; she's a full-bore volunteer.
Thought you were a big proponent of innocent until proven guilty?
