I'm not referring to the people masquerading as protestors who used the whole incident as an excuse to commit crime and mayhem. Those people deserved to be taken down by the police. Many of the legitimate protesters FAUGHT the people taking advantage of the protest for illegitimate reasons to keep it lawful and credible. I'm referring to the group of LAWFUL (or at the very least, acting lawfully) protestors who got assaulted and manhandled by the police FOR NO REASON. This has been all over every media outlet from Faux News to NPR for 2 weeks now. How can anyone be confused as to what is really going on?
