The Police Officer acted pro-actively to prevent a traffic accident and seemed very reasonable in asking the group to move. This was a slippery snowy intersection; any roadside protest would distract drivers. The combination of the road conditions, traffic, the signs, protesters, and the unexplained man-with-stick was trouble-in-waiting. Karnak The Magnificent sees a long pileup in the future and many headaches for the officer on duty. Not every adverse police action is political.
This one is unless you happen to think that establishments need to dim their advetising lights and billboards must come down every time it snows a little bit.
So you’re saying that even though police witnessed the protester being beaten with a weapon, this was good cop behavior?
That intersection didn’t look very safe. There is one point in the video where a truck is passing very close to a pedestrian.
However, the police seemed a way too relaxed when they were told that one of the protesters was just assaulted AND the guy with the club is right there saying he’d do it again.
Not to be picky, "but" all I saw were two people. Then one walked across the road away from the signs.
I hardly call a single person standing on the corner "a group".
Unless your counting the Aborted baby and Hillary on the sign.
Ok, that would make three. Four if you count the person that walked away.
Just my observation.
