UPDATED --- Chicago policeman to journalists: ‘Your 1st Amendment rights can be terminated"

I Can Terminate the 1st Amendment, the 2nd Amendment. 

I Can Terminate All a Y'All's Amendments.

From GOP Daily Dose:

Welcome to Obama’s America. 

A Chicago policeman told local journalists their First Amendment rights could be terminated. 

Media Bistro reported Monday that WGN reporter Don Ponce and WMAQ photographer Donte Williams were taken into custody for allegedly “creating a scene” outside Mount Sinai Hospital. 

Merrill Knox added: 

Ponce and Williams, who were part of a media contingent covering the fatal shooting of a six-year-old girl, were handcuffed by an officer after they refused to move farther away from the hospital (video above). “You first amendment rights can be terminated if you create a scene,” the officer told them. “Your first amendment rights have limitations.” 

According to a report at NBC Chicago, the two men were already at a median halfway across the street from the hospital when a policeman ordered them to go even further.
“F*** news affairs, I don’t care about news affairs. Forget news affairs,” he told the journalists. 

When asked how they were creating a scene by simply doing their jobs, the officer said their very presence was creating a scene.

When police officers threaten to terminate your Constitutional rights, you tell them that you will file a civil rights suit against them under Section 1983. The officers are personally liable for their actions under this section; and often so are the cities that employ the offending officers.

Civil Rights Litigation, Section 1983

Title 42, Section 1983, of the United States Code is a procedural vehicle by which one whose federal statutory or constitutional rights have been violated can bring an action against state "actors" who commit these violations "under color of law."  The statute was rarely used until 1961, when the Supreme Court ruled that private litigants are to be permitted a federal court remedy as a first resort rather than having to first bring suit in state court Monroe v. Pape, 365 U.S. 167 (1961). Today, Section 1983 actions include suits over freedom of speech, search and seizure or use of excessive force, cruel and unusual punishment, and claims of due process violations.
