"I was shocked that he did it. We’re a nonviolent organization, we were peacefully assembling for a march, and all of the officers I’ve encountered up until this point have been amazing and helpful. It’s officers like (Stewart) who paint police in a bad light."CodePink4Peace.org: Code Pink...Press release (August 27, 2008)
