NYPD throws the book at RNC Banner Hangers
The four folks that hung this beauty in New York yesterday are facing assault charges because a cop cut himself on a skylight...

According to the New York Times, the NYPD are under orders to bring 2nd degree assault charges if an officer is hurt during an arrest. The assault charges mean that these four working young professionals could spend the next 25 years of their life in Jail.

As the protesters apparently had nothing to do with the injury, and even warned the now injured officer of the danger of falling, the chances of those charges sticking, one hopes, are slim to none. Let's hope that they have some good lawyers on it.
