Happening in Phoenix

This photo was taken at an August protest rally at the Arizona state capitol in Phoenix. Capitol Police and Homeland Security would not let Americans or veterans who were there do anything about the desecration of the flag.

Several individuals were threatened with arrested and told they would be booked  on federal charges if they did anything to interfere with demonstrators who were spitting on and stomping on the flag and burning it with cigarettes. One soldier who reportedly had just returned from Iraq was said to have been thrown to the ground by Capitol Police and Homeland Security when tried to grab the flag.
