Considered one of the main faces of the protest, Baker told the Herald he was pleased the charges against him had been dropped, though he did not yet know why. […]

Baker said he didn’t commit any of the crimes he was accused of, saying the charge of resisting police was “bizarre”.

“I didn’t resist them one little bit.”

[…] “There was no criminal offending going on. Innocent people shouldn’t be charged.”

Baker said when he was arrested there were about 30-40 other men in the holding cells who were about the same age as him.

“I think only one of them had ever been in a holding cell before in their lives, so that just proves it was average Joes . . . to arrest that many in that situation, there’s something wrong.”
