• Police officer assaults city councillor who was peacefully leaving the council meeting

David Snyder, the poor beaten councilman, is obviously a key character in this ridiculous saga. It is obvious that the other two members of the council and the police forces have accumulated a fair amount of resentment against him. Just by looking at the video of the September incident, it is unclear what he might have done to upset others, but the recent incident is only the last one in a series.

WNDU has some more information. WNDU is the media claiming copyright over the video and is responsible for having it removed already several times from youtube.

Several versions of the video have been posted at youtube. Each time, they have been brought down because "copyright infringements" claims made by WNDU-TV. Some estimate that several dozen videos had been removed from youtube (even though the same videos were still available at other video sharing sites).

But the law was on the side of the youtube activists, and thanks to one dedicated youtuber, one video has definitely been restated at youtube. Read on to see how...
