Yeah, I remember that one.
So, are you towing the official line and saying nay to the peaceful protestors? Or do you understand/support their cause?
All kidding aside, I don't see how it's an "either/or" situation.
I don't support their cause (socialism and fake anarchy).
At the same time I don't think general verbal and visual assholery justifies police brutality. If the protesters weren't acting in a manner that warranted the use of force, the officers involved were wrong.
Of course, even if the police are guilty here (and I don't discount that possibility one bit), that doesn't mean America has turned into an Orwellian police state, despite what the Niles Crane lookalike on MSNBC says. It simply means some cops are bad.
