BERKELEY, Calif. (AP) Hundreds of people marched through Berkeley for a third night a row, blocking a major highway and stopping a train as activists in this ultra-liberal bastion protested grand jury decisions not to indict white police officers in the deaths of two unarmed black men on the other side of the country.
Protesters blocked traffic on both sides of Interstate 80 in Berkeley, while another group stood and sat on train tracks, temporarily forcing an Amtrak train to stop Monday night.

ah crap! I guess the libs would harp about the 8th Amendment huh?
I would argue it is not cruel to detain a suspect until police arrive by non-lethal means.
If they want to complain, I could just put two in the chest and one in the head. Problem solved. (for me at least)
libs would just find my actions “morally unjustified” and gripe about that.

If I were a cop I wouldn’t stop them. They will get sued.

As a citizen of the United States, I demand that law enforcement remove the druggie demonstrators from my roads, bridges, and railroad tracks. Clear the way for all traffic IMMEDIATELY!
