Newly released videos show a police task force in Memphis, Tennessee, arresting a well-known local activist who's also the lead plaintiff in a First Amendment lawsuit alleging illegal retaliation by the force.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) says videos of the August 26 arrest of Hunter Demster by officers in the Memphis Safe Task Force, along with other recent instances of intimidation, are yet more evidence of a continuing harassment campaign against people who try to exercise their First Amendment right to record law enforcement in public.
