03/27/2003: Bernco Sheriff Darren White

Bernalillo County Sheriff Darren White has stepped into the fray over the right of a free people to peaceably assemble in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Albuquerque Police Department officers are tired from their conflicts with demonstrators (those batons and machine guns are heavy!), so Bernalillo County will offer them some relief. Sheriff White immediately drew a line in the sand: step in the streets and go to jail, plus pay for the cost of policing the demonstrators.

Permits are not required to demonstrate in city parks, Civic Plaza or on any public sidewalk.
