I don't see anything wrong.
You're allowed to gather and speak freely...
But you're not allowed to create unrest.
you're not allowed to blockade roads (not the cops, the protesters gathered in the street, effectively blocking the circulation).
you're not allowed to insult cops on duty (dunno for the US but you get fined for that in France (in theory)).
Those protesters did all these 3 wrong, some got arrested for it. The later ones in the video were for promoting unrest, earlier ones for insulting the cops (the word fuck comes up a lot in that video).
It's not because you know your rights that you can deprive others of theirs... these hippies kind of forget that ^^. |
Freedom of speech man, you can say what ever you want to a cop in USA, and I mean anything. The cops created the unrest as they started getting overly aggressive.The cops formed in the roads and aggressed everyone on to the sidewalk, so the cops created the civeil unrest.

Go up to a Cop and start yelling Racist terms at him/her and see how long your "Freedom of Speech" lasts.
There are rules to protesting and those rules were broken by these people. They deserved what happened to them. Nothing that I have seen looks excessive to me, nor did anything in that video jump out as Police Aggression or Brutality.
Police have one shitty ass job. Do to much and you are "To Aggressive or Brutal" and dont do enough and you are "Ineffective and Useless" Its a very fine line and I, for one, would not want to live in a world without the Police.
