News: Boston Police vs. political protest?

Boston Now's Senior Reporter James O'Brien looks in this article at whether the Boston Police have been cracking down selectively on the free speech rights of demonstrators.

In a recent case, performance artist Milan Kohout stood outside a downtown Bank of America location with a pile of nooses and a sign saying "Nooses on Sale." He says they referred to the bind that stock market and mortgage problems have put people in, but police confiscated the ropes and sign and charged him with being an unlicensed vendor.

The article quotes John Reinstein, our Legal Director, and there's also an audio recording of the interview with some detailed discussion of free speech issues.
