"You're lucky I didn't knock the f**k out of you," a county sheriff told ABC's "On the Money Trail" producer Asa Eslocker.
Asa refused to leave a public sidewalk where he was taking photographs of Democratic senators and VIP donors who were leaving a private meeting at the Brown Palace Hotel Wednesday afternoon.
A video shows police telling him the sidewalk is owned by the hotel, ordering him to leave, and shoving him into the street in front of oncoming traffic.
ABC News reports:
A cigar-smoking Denver police sergeant, accompanied by a team of five other officers, first put his hands on Eslocker's neck, then twisted the producer's arm behind him to put on handcuffs. ...
Video taken at the scene shows a man, wearing the uniform of a Boulder County sheriff, ordering Eslocker off the sidewalk in front of the hotel, to the side of the entrance.
The sheriff's officer is seen telling Eslocker the sidewalk is owned by the hotel. Later, he is seen pushing Eslocker off the sidewalk into oncoming traffic, forcing him to the other side of the street.
It was two hours later when Denver police arrived to place Eslocker under arrest, apparently based on a complaint from the Brown Palace Hotel, a central location for Democratic officials.
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."
