Braving the one-hundred degree heat, and looking like Brave Heart, Michael Heise lead a group that protested the brutal macing, arrest, & abuse of four young men on July 3 by the West Chester, PA police. He tells the sad story of what happened that night in this video.
All was going fine at the protest until the police stepped in to stop the bullhorning. See it for yourself:
In another video the same cop says that the 1st Amendment doesn't apply to bull horns. He says this at 11:50: http://youtu.be/Nkv_TfzxcvU

Thanks for this invaluable blog post, and as Teddy Roosevelt said:
""and this means that it is exactly necessary to blame him when he does wrong as to praise him when he does right. Any other attitude in an American citizen is both base and servile. To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public."

PS - I found the police in Harrisburg, PA to be little different than the thugs depicted in your video in the 60's.
