Was property at risk or physical harm to others imminent?

Aklim, still no position on whether the students were being placed under arrest and resisting? No comment about the police objective?

So let me understand this. You see a difference between a bunch of peaceful protesters who chain themselves to the door, hold a "sit in" at the doctor's parking lot or make it difficult for patients to go into the clinic? how so? Besides that you may not like what they are doing?

Well, a sprayed perp is going to be more easy to move. There is always risk when you move someone especially when they don't want to be moved. Ask any RN or CNA and they will tell you that moving a body can lead to injury. And we are talking about compliant patients. What more non-compliant as they clearly have demonstrated.

What do you want? Do you believe they cannot discern that they are NOT supposed to do what they did? Do you believe they were given a legal order to stop blocking? If they are retarded, I would withdraw my comments but I think they knew what they were doing when they refused to budge. Do you believe they have the right to camp out there?
