anthagio: kevinless: Click through to watch the video and say, “holy shit”. What the FUCK. I grew up as the child of law enforcement officers, and I promise that 99.9% of them aren’t like this.

These people were camping out and refused to move off of the sidewalk even after the police officers warned them several times. There are ways to peacefully protest AND abide by the law/listen to the police officers. If they tell you to move off the sidewalk, do it or face the consequences. I mean, would walking a hundred yards away defeat the purpose of your protest? No. Every single fucking person wants to act like a victim because their actions caused the officers to do their job.  I don’t think this is blown out of proportion. There are other ways to protest but there are also other routes through the campus. The other officers could have gone around, especially as afterwards they just leave, it can’t have been that important that they be there in the first place. They turn up in riot gear gear as procedure demands and then they have nothing to do but watch and listen to peaceful protesters. The action that Lt. John Pike took was totally uncalled for under those circumstances. I’m glad that most people are outraged.
