Pretty sure regardless of the message or the fact that you're protesting it's not legal to walk down the middle of a public road that's open to traffic, and that if you refuse to get out of that road when told to do so by the police, they are obligated to eventually arrest you.

If it was a closed road for a permitted protest, that's quite different of course.

These jerks are auditioning for a third rate lounge act. Their phony stunt is so contrived that a kid would be embarrassed to try to pull something like that to get his parents attention.

Why did they want to work so hard to arrest that one man? What did he do that pissed off that cop walking next to him that he had to create a fake revenge arrest?
