It was a taser.I believe 100% that protesters should get their message across. Violating my rights to free travel by blocking the path is violating my rights. I will and have fought for my rights in the past.
I see nothing wrong with the police in this situation busting down the protest that violated many other citizens rights.
I do have an issue of him coming out with pistol drawn. I didn't see the threat that would warrant drawing a firearm. Brute force? Hell yes. Drag them by their kinky hair off the road and clear it for law abiding citizens, cuff and stuff for violating the law.
