looks like she disobeyed an order to move away from the officers. then again, the internets are never overly dramatic, right?

it wasn't the internets that knocked her to the ground and called her a bitch.

it was the cop in riot gear, with a double-size baton, who was twice her size. did you see the part where he snapped the baton out to hit her?

no dramatization was necessary on her part. that would knock most people down.

If I give a million cameras to a million monkeys, will I find that one of them taped a masterpiece? This may be one of the unfortunate flare ups during the event. Things happen when this many people are involved. Its just simple statistics. And why I avoid large gatherings of emotionally charged individuals.

Size and Gender? Really? You think size and gender matter?
Common now, strengthen that argument. Also, its not one person but a crowd. A crowd that outnumbers security. Having done no extensive security work but having been outnumbered on many occasion, I can tell you that it does not put the mind at ease or give great comfort.

I strongly believe in Freedom of Assembly but do not believe it gives the right to endanger or impede anyone else. Somehow, the freedom to gather got confused with the "Right to Roadblock". The first time the cops say "Move along please", your supposed to get off your duff and move.

Chefjef may be right about dramatization. Read up on codepink. Their track record isn't that honest. Or you can just laugh at them
