"I'll send them the $8 myself and give them (the cops) a pat on the back for their restraint."

I have no love for these protesters or their position but I find the cops' actions absolutely unjustifiable. They dishonor any LEO who wears a badge.

And can you give some reasons why you think the actions were not justified?

I think the LEOs had perfect escalation of force for subjects that were chained up and causing a disturbance.

1. Presence
2. Verbal Commands
3. Light physical force
4. Pepper spray

What would you have done?

As a former LEO, I think these officers performed well.
