How dare anyone sit on the sidewalk in America. Where do people get to thinking that they have the right to assemble like that? What? Its in the Constitution? Never mind. whataburger300 35 minutes ago
Sidewalk huh? I guess that explains the police cruiser that drove through after removing the 'protesters'. And whats up with the guy saying 'thats fine' after being informed the police would be using pepper spray to remove them?
That is a walking path. The pigs were standing in the road too. Where are the cars?
They are blocking the road far less then after a sporting event or concert. Should I expect to get pepper sprayed after attending the next AC/DC concert?

You'll see the police car about ten yards back starting at the 8 second mark.
UC Davis campus police were given an order to take down an encampment and in the process they were obstructed by a number of protesters. The police did a great job balancing the need to maintain order with the 'students' right to protest. Its only because of a biased media, and a pusillanimous school chancelor that this story has any legs.
That is not a road. It is a walking path as far as I can tell. The cop car takes up over half of the road.
When a lot of people are protesting it is going to block some people. So what.
If they people were attacking someone. Or damaging someones property. They might have a cause. But sitting there with locked arms is a peaceful protest.
