I was a little surprised by the officer's reaction at the end. He seems to not appreciate the situation.

5. They are on their own campus and the demonstration was peaceful
No broken windows, no attacks. The police were out of line here. They would have been much better off just to watch and make sure it didn't get out of hand.

2. these are people's lives
Many will be damaged by the tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets.

These are unarmed protesters and even more, students.

Did the President of the University allow this? Is this a military state?

Who the hell let the riot keystone cops in the dorms.


To understand why it is wrong to let your city become a police state watch this:

3. This is very Orwellian, hard to believe that it is real
but oh so real.

Doesn't seem like the US.

4. Any police officer who says "Get that camera out of my face." should be immediately taken down.
