When Campus Cops Attack

Student and Air Force veteran Tariq Khan got beaten down. So did the Bill of Rights.

When military recruiters set up a kiosk at George Mason University on September 29th, Tariq Khan, a Pakistani American and Air Force veteran, assumed that he was allowed to protest. After all, GMU is a public university and the Johnson Center, where he stood, is a public facility. Even more notably, the school itself is named after George Mason, the father of the Bill of Rights who wrote that freedom of speech “is one of the greatest bulwarks of liberty and can never be restrained but by despotic governments.”

Only an hour later, Tariq sat in the Fairfax County Adult Detention Center with an untreated head wound on charges of trespassing and disorderly conduct. What went wrong?
