I heard a little about this on the news but didn't pay attention, then I watched that video you linked and it really boils my blood.
I'm not eeeeven going to touch the whole political part... enough of you hate me as it is... but as for someone being punished for stating his opinion, that part is stupid as fuck. If it were me I would be suing the fucking life out of that police department, the college, and whoever else.
I'm still fuming about that video. If I were a bystander I can't say I wouldn't have like jumped one of those cops... or something...
