be sure to watch the video. i really dont understand the whole power trip bully schtick. they were on a public sidewalk, no it does not belong to the hotel you lying ass. really hoping this story blows up.

During the arrest, one of the officers can be heard saying to Eslocker, "You're lucky I didn't knock the f..k out of you."

Eslocker was released late today after posting $500 bond.

Eslocker and his ABC News colleagues are spending the week investigating the role of corporate lobbyists and wealthy donors at the convention for a series of Money Trail reports on ABC's "World News with Charles Gibson."

Pity it wasn't Dan Rather. It would have been a nice 40th anniversary present.

well, it's blown up into two threads already.

and i'm pretty sure they're correct the sidewalk is hotel property. like, you can't even park in front of a hotel, they'll have your ass towed. but, i'm no legal expert.
