Was that necessary?

Okay, I'm not even going to get into whether or not I agree with my peeps protesting again yesterday, but I am going to talk about how messed up the police were when dealing with the crowds. Yes, there were people trying to start stuff -- aren't there always? There is always that one group of idiots that has to ruin for everyone else. For the most part, however, it was pretty peaceful and the protestors were pretty calm.

So, why did the cops feel the need to start shooting people with rubber pellets and pushing people to the floor, only to whack them with batons for not getting up fast enough and moving. Really, police? Busters. This video shows just how out of control it got... to the point that they were pushing female reporters (Fox's Christina Alvarez) and female camera operators who were just there reporting on the events, not causing disturbances.

Well, police, now you've given them even more excuse to hate you and not respect you... Good one!
