You serious? Lets evaluate the situation.

- Protesters are (peaceably) breaking the law. (see: time, manner, place & public property applications of constitutional protection before you cry about 'right to assemble').
- Police ask the unlawful gathering to disperse.
- They refuse.
- Police push them back.
- They refuse and yell at police more (still breaking the law here in case you aren't following).
- Police use force as per their protocol
- Protesters continue to resist

Was too much force used? I wasn't there but apparently there were no (official) injuries reported. In the video the people that are getting arrested aren't wincing and pain and crying so I'd assume they aren't injured, at least not too bad.

Police force should utilize the minimum amount required to accomplish their job when someone is breaking the law. They may have used more than was neccesary but again, I wasn't there and just watching the video so don't know the background before the 2 minutes that were on camera. But seriously... the police are 'gutting' them? Get real..

Are you fucking stupid?

Do you know how easily i can hurt you with my scrawny frame going full steam on your liver/chops/kidneys with a baton like that?

They could easily push those people back (theyre not fighting back) doing light hockey cross checks or wielding shields... Theyre out to hurt them, thats plain obvious.
