 Counterdemonstrators' Brave Protest Deserves Protection
As Rosas, 37, and two fellow demonstrators, both older women, were handcuffed and pulled out of the stadium by uniformed Tampa police, they appeared as tragic heroes.
This is where the news footage picks up: Rosas and his friends are nearly surrounded by pro-Bush ralliers with whom they are engaged in heated conversation -- something to be expected for counterprotesters.
Also on the tape, which is full of jostling and was periodically interrupted by Bush supporters thrusting their signs directly in front of the camera lense, a Tampa police officer can be seen calling for backup and telling the counterdemonstrators if they get rid of the signs they can stay.

 American Civil Liberties Union : ACLU Sues Tampa for Violating Protestors' Free Speech Rights at Bush Rally
The case arose on June 4, 2001, when Lentz, Mauricio Rosas and Sonja Haught -- one carrying a sign that said "Boo!" -- arrived with tickets in hand at the security checkpoint at Legend's Field, the stadium selected as the rally site.
Shortly after entering the stadium, they were approached by security personnel who demanded, "Lose the sign and you can stay." Security personnel at no point asked other rally attendees to remove their signs, which for the most part were favorable of the President and Governor, the ACLU said in legal papers.
When the three protestors declined to give up their signs, they were handcuffed and led down a tunnel to the basement of the stadium, where they were held for several hours.
