The question of how to move recalcitrant demonstrators is never answered by those reacting to the police.

Answered thousands of times in demonstrations of passive resistance — you pick them up and carry them away. If they’ve locked themselves to something, you cut the locks.

Because they are blocking use of a side walk.

William Nuesslein,

The police should first answer the question of why the demonstrators should be moved.

I find it hard to work up sympathy for UC Davis, or, ultimately, the California taxpayer.

How soon we forget the 1968 Chicago protests at the Democratic Convention. The Chicago Police hit protestors in the ribs and on the head with batons.

The question of how to move recalcitrant demonstrators is never answered by those reacting to the police.

Poor dear.
He had to change his phone number and move a couple times.
The article doesn’t state where he is working now, but come on, cops with much worse records still find employment somewhere. Wouldn’t be surprised if he is wearing a badge and carrying a gun for a municipality right down the road from UC Davis. Protect and serve.

Obviously suffering much more than the people he sprayed. The truth DOES hurt.

Aaron Hernandez should sign up for work comp. He has injuries. Unlike ssdi or ssi, incarceration wont exclude him.
