Sure, I did not say the cops should leave them totally alone. Faceplanting people because you dont like them isnt cool either though.

Like I said, should have just escorted em off premises ,then given em fines, then faceplanted em. Instead of just faceplanting em.

The idiot Code Pink folk got exactly what they wanted- pictures of cops roughing up people just for ticking off cops.

That doesnt mean I dont think the Pink fuckers werent being asshats... even though I cant say how they were doing anything to bother the other tourists either. Maybe that part wasnt shown, but out of what was shown - was just a few people acting dumb. Honestly ive seen groups of people acting silly around parks and monuments before....

If the cops ever even said anything, it was just to pipe down.
