Journalist faces 21 years for exposing police brutality

It's bad enough that America's schools have become prisons.

If you think our schools are anything short of adult jails that happen to be filled by kids, an incident at West High School in Manchester, New Hampshire, should kablammo that notion plumb out of your conscience. Actually, this event shows they're often even worse than prisons. Late last year, a video appeared that showed a police officer yanking a student out of his seat in the cafeteria and slamming him face-first into a table.

Adam Mueller - a journalist who founded CopBlock.org, a website that exposes illegal police activity - reported on the incident. Now Mueller is facing 21 years in prison just for reporting it. Right-wing authorities have charged Mueller with 3 counts of wiretapping for posting the video, carrying 7 years each.

Mueller has been offered a plea deal of a 2-year suspended sentence, but he's refusing it, because the charge is patently ridiculous.

Meanwhile, there is no indication that the cop has been punished at all - even though his brutality was caught on video.

Naturally, the RNC-funded right-wing troll posse has freeped website comment sections to defend the police officer and criticize Mueller.
