Officer Wesley Cheeks, Jr. didn't agree with a sign a protester carried at Jim Moran's town hall in Reston, VA last week.  Cheeks told the protester he would charge him with trespassing (of all things) if he didn't take down the sign because it had a picture on it.

When the protester questioned the officer, Cheeks responded, "If I told you once to take it down and you put it back up then I can charge you with whatever I want to charge you with."

The protester didn't back down, saying,  "This is America.  This used to be America."

Officer Cheeks apparently didn't like what the protester had to say either.  His response: "It ain't no more, OK?"

More despicable acts from Moran's town hall.
