This video shows a BP-hired mercenaries working for "Talon Security" trying to keep WDSU-New Orleans reporter Scott Walker from talking to cleanup crews on a public beach. I would normally say something like, "Apparently they didn't get the memo last week from from National Incident Commander Thad Allen and BP Chief Operating Officer Doug Suttles that the media is to have full access to oil-affected areas and to cleanup workers," - except that the mercs in the video are perfectly aware of the memos, and yet continue to obstruct the journalist!

2. Somewhere in one of those Gulf States is an environmentally aware policeman or sheriff's deputy...

...and they should take a stroll.

Alternatively, the journalists should disregard the unlawful orders and continue their stroll on this public beach until such time as they are assaulted.

With this on camera, a speedy criminal and civil trial should be able to commence.
