The polic jump at the chance to arrest someone. One
other person was arrested at the same time. Why? They
tried to take a different path to the courthouse. More
than likely it was because they were both at the front
all day. They just don't understand the the phrase,
"We're all leaders!"

Maybe they were afraid we'd get hurt (ha!) More likely
they were scared we'd riot if they tried to stop us.
