A man jeering at officers was briskly taken away by police, and a teenage boy with a Confederate flag draped over him was also removed.Afterward, a cluster of protesters shouted down the undercover officers."These guys are cops! These guys are cops!" they yelled.Others directed more colorful language toward the officers, who did not respond to the comments.Another person was denied entry to the protest and escorted from the security checkpoint by authorities. No official reason was given, though the man said deputies took issue with a shirt he was wearing.The shirt had a picture of urban activist Huey P. Newton and a quote from him reading, "You can the jail the revolutionary, but you can't jail the revolution."Remarks from the Klan could not be heard in the protest area, which was located more than 100 yards away from the courthouse. But demonstrators tried to make the Klan hear them."KKK, go away!" they chanted.Others within the crowd paid little attention to the Klan, and talked amongst themselves about race, politics and freedom of speech
