Police breaking up a non-violent protest of only 40 people... yes, that's the definition of oppression. I don't like what you have to say so I'll shut you up is oppression.
Have you ever read your constitution? These people are douchebags, but what they were doing should not have been stopped.
- mc-lovin 14y agoI agree with you about the right to protest. I wasn't aware that was an issue: pretty sure that's not what the person I was replying to was talking about. Certainly none of the articles on the issue claimed that the police were acting outside the law. Maybe the guy beating a pinata with a pole was the issue, I don't know.
