64. Well, Im assuming something as well...
Im assuming that once the groups are split they are sent out of the area? I dont know I wasnt there. If you remove the groups, the number of people goes down. :-)

The tactics of the officers are not determined by this administration. Each department is responsible for training their personnel to meet the various challenges presented.

The actions of the officers might have been to undermine the protests.

From a professional perspective, I dont really see what there is to gain for their actions of either intimidation (if the rally was peaceful) or to undermine the protests. When you work something like that, you dont *want* anything to happen. No reports = a good thing. They risk negative publicity, lawsuits, injury etc. Unless something surfaces to show they were complicit with 'higher ups' to intimidate or undermine, they were doing their job.

What law is unjust that you feel warranted civil disobedience? Im asking seriously. I dont see how keeping protestors from the path of the motorcade is unjust. Can you explain it?
