HOWEVER, I've been getting repeated e-mails decrying the massive police brutality at the event. And I just watched the "shocking" video. If that video is the best you've got, then I call "shenanegans" on the whole brutality thing.
Things claimed in the e-mail include tear gas and the mass clubbing of students. But none of this is on the video. Not one club swung by a cop, not one spray of teargas. I saw police using pressure points to remove protesting students from the mass. And seeing all the craziness running around the police, cameras in their faces, people yelling and screaming at them...I saw restraint on their part, not violence.
You kids crying about "police brutailty" need to climb on down from that hill and get out in the real world. All things considered, you were let off easy.
