They just made that woman's day, or life. Now she can feel like she "made a difference" while the man kept her down. Congrats to these riot cops for validating the protesters existence.

The right of the people to assemble peacefully shall not be infringed. This is an obvious abuse of power and "authority" and a violation of your constitutionally protected rights.

The constitution clearly give the right for people to protest peacefully on public property. The police broke several laws, but there was obviously power behind these mass arrests and police violence. Cops get nervous when they don't know what to do.
