it says right in the article that when asked to move the girl was hitting the officers, cursing, and spitting.

just because a cop said it doesn't mean it happened. cops say lots of things. i wasn't there, so i don't know but i bet the truth lies somewhere between the two stories. it always does.

Keith is completely right. The right to peacefully protest is exactly that. If a cop tells you to move out of the street, or to stop blocking an establishments entrance, you need to shut the fuck up and do it. If you want to argue with the cops, get a lawyer and do it at the appropriate time, in the appropriate place.

the police department's job is to represent the law, not to BE the law. if a dumb pig asks me to stop doing something that's not illegal, i have no obligation to obey him or her.
it's true that it's EASIER to shut the fuck up and move along. that's what they want. that's why a lot of people become cops...they're power-thirsty. and because people blindly obey anyone with a badge and a gun, they act in ways that are above the law, such as 3 men taking down a girl and snapping her leg in half. and they get away with it because people like some of the people here think that every time a pig says "jump" we should ask "how high?"
people assume that cops are trained to use restraint and not to judge and to anticipate and diffuse confrontation. many do. some do not. if a cop is acting belligerent/violent/otherwise unnecessarily angry, it is our responsibility as the people whom they are supposed to protect (not to mention who pay their salaries) to call them out on it.
fuck punk cops.
