So when told to do something you better do it or else...

Sounds so...totalitarian.

The day is coming when such actions by the police will result in this:

Yes, disperse if ordered or suffer the consequences. Laws mean nothing if not enforced.

never mind that it was not possible for them to do what the police were telling them to do, unless they felt like jumping 10 feet onto concrete.

THEY HAD NOWHERE TO DISPERSE TO. THEY WERE TRAPPED IN THE STAIRWELL BY THE POLICE.

they were being told by police on both ends of the stairwell to disperse. they tried to leave at the bottom and got teargassed, then ran back up to the top and got teargassed by the cops on that end. they were telling the police that they were being blocked on both ends but the police would not listen to them.

Spoken like a true Statist....

And if that law is unconstitutional???

Or the police are acting illegally?

Sad what sheep most people are,including a LOT of the students in the videos.

if they are stupid enough to go there and then stay after the police tells them to leave, then they get what they get
I do not feel sorry for them at all

should they have jumped off of the landing? it looked like they were considering it for a second there.

maybe next time they will remember they are in with the big boys
that are serious and do not have time to play games
they should not have been there to begin with
