So, the arrest was just to shut him up and keep him from reporting.

Correct. They're covering up their incompetence in not ordering an evacuation. The folks that stayed are dead folks walking now.

Cops need to start having their hands chopped off for grabbing(assaulting) people for no reason. If someone is not actively committing a crime, keeps your damn hands to yourself.

It’s funny that factories have to spend big bucks for hazardous materials to be disposed of in special high temperature closed pressurized incinerators with special exhaust scrubbers to insure that long chain molecules are broken down and not released into the atmosphere. Because that breakdown does not occur during normal fires in normal atmosphere. What a bunch of morons. Biden now has two ecological disasters, the Nordstream pipeline sabotage, and the East Palestine train derailment. Where is Sierra Club and the Audubon Society protecting the birds and other wildlife in the region? Where is Greenpeace? Where is the outrage on campus from the ecology majors? What a bunch of morons. Where are the Vegans and Animal Rescue Groups? You can do what ever you want to the planet if you aren’t a Conservative or a Republican. Eff Them All.

Yeah, this was disgraceful. This was nothing but ego...should have been deescalated immediately. He had a right to be there and was not committing any crime. They had no right to demand he leave. Then to arrest him AND throw him to the ground...smh. There needs to be more emphasis on what our rights are at cop school, especially 1-5A’s. They don’t seem to realize it is a crime for them to be violated.
