Response to the Fight Against Wallstreet

I was completely shocked when I watched the video on democracynow.com. Protesters who had done absolutely nothing wrong were being beaten and arrested just because they were protesting. The video showed innocent men and even women protesters being pepper sprayed and attacked by the police. They weren't harming anyone or breaking any laws. I feel that police definitely crossed the line and something should be done about this. I also feel that police should never use violence when arresting someone, especially in this case when no one was doing anything wrong and they weren't causing the police any harm. This also violates peoples rights as American citizens to free speech. They were just standing up for what they believed in and the police treated that as if it were a crime. This is not right and something needs to be done about it.
