They are given rights that most citizens do not possess and must therefore treat those rights with an exuberant amount of responsibility and integrity. When a protestor is getting tossed around for simply asking why another protester is being arrested, that is brutality.
The point of the officers in a scenario such as this should be to safely escort the protest along its way. They weren't breaking any laws, or disturbing the peace.
If you watch the video, it was the police who became physical, and the police who continued to be physical, even when the protestors didn't fight back.
The only thing that the man who was arrested did was go limp, followed by having some sort of seizure. Why was he arrested in the first place? Funny how the officers won't disclose the charges.
Your points are mute until you watch the video. And for once stop arguing for the sake of arguing.
