I'm just curious what pro-protesters' solution would be.
Jesus Christ just shut the fark up. You clearly have zero idea what you're talking about.
Since saying that what MLK did would deserve the same type of response according to your falied logic would be equalted to racism.. You just can't admit your true colors
So keep hiding behind that "IT'S THE LAW" justification... Just like those who hide behind the "IT'S IN THE BIBLE" justification

And yes, I'll sit behind the "it's the law" justification because it's right and you're wrong, period.
Because if that's the case, that would certainly make life interesting. Any group of homeless ppl can band together under the guise of any political point of view and camp out at any location forever under the pretense that it's a "protest".
Wouldn't that be nice?

So you are saying that protest should be broken up right...
And that people have NO constitutional rights to make their voices heard no matter how long they wish to do it...
So you are ok if the gov't or the police or whoever has the power gets tired of hearing a protest they can shut it down...

And they didn't follow the LAW so they got treated to some POLICE BRUTALITY
You don't need to admit to anything, your statements have already spoke volumes of your personal beliefs

Where the fark are those cops to take down that unsightly mess

Did the deserve the type of violence that was used against them? Absolutely not.
Did they actually have a reasonable issue with how they were being treated? Yup.
Do these occupy protesters? Nope.
Did the occupy protesters deserve what they got? Absolutely based on the techniques used for force by the police.
Guess what though? Laws change and law enforcement policies change and get better and have since the 60s. And if you still think that comparing this movement to the civil rights movement is in anyway warranted, you really are an idiot whose mind will never be changed by logic.

If that's what you think, that's fine. But please say it. I'm not talking about the individual's right to protest. We all know the answer to that. I'm talking about what to do with ppl camping out on public or private property for an indefinite amount of time. Should it be allowed with the potential that it may go on for a long, long time?
Forget about whether it blocks traffic or not. I'm going to put that aside. Let's say it's a park on the side of the road. Do you think the protesters should be allowed to camp out there for as long as they want?
How would you have handled it? Do absolutely nothing? Without enforcing laws you're just asking for anarchy. It is baffling how you and others don't understand that there is nothing wrong with how this was handled.
Point being is that unnecessary extremes were gone to in this scenario to "resolve" a peaceful protest that was no where within a couple hundred feet of any campus building (as best I could tell), when it could of just been let go, and to let them protest peacefully.
The problem I see (in this thread anyway), is that many don't agree with the views of the protesters, so you will find any excuse to justify the unneeded actions of law enforcement.
STOP for a second before you hit reply...let it sink in a bit.... And lie to yourself that this isn't the truth of it.

You think people should be restricted to a time limit in how long they can protest something

The protesters were told by the university and given the 3PM deadline to clear the sidewalk area.
Most of protesters took down their tents and moved their protest to the grass on the side, its only these few stubborn morons decided to become martyrs.
