“I am appalled that students exercising their (fully sanctioned) rights
\nto free speech and to peaceably assemble were abused by law enforcement
\nofficials. The right to patriotically dissent from our government is a
\nsacred right and these students should be given commendations, not
\nblack eyes. They were claiming their places in our democracy. The
\npeople who mistreated them should be the ones who are being
\ninvestigated for their brutality and heavy-handed over-reaction, not
\nthe students.”<\/p>\n
