Just thought I'd give props to Brittany Barrient who has been working tirelessly for the Tulane law clinic on a case against the NOPD. Here's a link to an article about it:

She's actually quoted in the article, which is more fame and notoriaty than I EVER had. Here's the quote "In the New Orleans Police Department, it is a widely accepted and established custom for police officers to arrest and threaten people who film them," said Brittany Barrient, one of the students. You tell them Brittany!
Already she's been told she's an aggressive objector in the court room...you go grrrrrl...show those good ol' boys how it's done!
I hope we get to hear all about it in the coming weeks. Let's wish her luck in fighting for civil rights...yay Brittany!
