They were given a chance to disperse, and they refused. They disobeyed a lawful order from a competent authority. The other methods of dispersal would have been much more physically violent. You have the right to protest, you don't have the right to take away others' rights because you're a whiny brat.
The school admins wanted to disperse the demonstration, so they called in the cops.
It doesn't get any more obvious than that.
We have people now trying to justify the cop's excessive use of force by claiming a woman sitting on the sidewalk is a heinous crime
And yes, the correct response would've been to just let the kids continue to protest until they got tired and left on their own.
Also, it's funny how the cop defenders also justify the abuse by claiming the students were "Brats", "dirty hippies", "lazy", etc.. I guess that entitles the government to use excessive violence?

And again, if you had read the farking thread instead of just instigating, you'd know that the crime they were committing had ZERO to do with the use of force. They were actively resisting arrest and wouldn't move peacefully so the next option was used and used effectively.
Please, if you're going to argue, at least make it intelligent..

I didn't see any evidence that they did.
It is SO nice to have you back.

Lookie here:
Guess who these jokers belong to.... yup right wing anti-abortionist
And lets not forget this:
Its cool to be harassed by white protestors while going to school
Damn... where are all those cops to BEAT and BRUTALIZE these people..
I guess these law-breakers had a decent MESSAGE that didn't upset the current status quo, unlike those OWS losers.....
Its ALWAYS ABOUT THE MESSAGE AND STATUS QUO, upset anyone and you will get a beatdown by your gov't thugs in uniforms
Obviously supporting and defending mistreatment of those people above is wrong, but yea pepper spraying, beating and destroying OWS protestor/ing property is ok?

The tea party and OWS movements are about first world problems that mainly affect white people that live above the poverty line. None of these movements care about the many problems that poor people and minorities face.

Most of the talk is about the middle class and not the people who live paycheck to paycheck and don't have an education and cannot afford a single year of college for their children.
