ROCKFORD (WIFR) -- If you were driving down East State Street Friday afternoon in Rockford, you probably were wondering why these guys were dressed up like prison inmates

Occupy Rockford members were rallying against the National Defense Authorization Act. They fear the law could turn the United States into a police state, since it allows the armed forces to have police power and let's American citizens be detained without a trial for some crimes. Friday's protest was part of a national day of action, against the act.

Keep on walking at least these people have the guts to get out there and stand for some thing, the way the goverment keeps making laws and telling us what we have to do,and keep taking our rights away more people need to start protesting. Every time you turn around there is a new tax when is it going to stop, maybe when more people get out there and start puotesting. Keep up walking anyway thats our God given righ.t

Anyone who protests the national defense authorization act is no idiot. Everyone should educate themselves because it's completely unconstitutional and very easily could be abused by our government.
