What does that mean, laws don't matter after you ask nicely?
No, that you accept the consequences of your actions. They were told to leave, they did not, thus they put themselves and thier property at risk.
The protestors in birmingham in the 60's did not sue to get thier crap back. They stood thier ground, got arrested and beaten, and were RIGHT BACK on the firing line as soon as they got out.
You can respect that, and in that case I side with the protesters 100%.
The OWS protesters were a bunch of whiny rich kids who once dispersed fled with thier tails between thier legs, and went and got mommy and daddy's lawyers to fight thier battle in a courtroom. No respect for that.
Ok, the protestors had to deal with their actions = Their shit was vandalized or removed
The Police had to deal with their actions = They broke the law
I'm wondering why you only think that one of the two have to "deal with their actions"?
What you agree with is of no consequence. That's not how laws work buddy
The police broke no such law, or they would be facing prosecution right now. This is a civil matter, not a criminal one. The state probably could have won, but they decided to pay out a paltry sum to save on legal costs.
If I plop my belongings in a public area, am then told to move said belongings, and I refuse, what law are the police breaking when they move my crap, and what expectations of maintenance of such crap do I expect?
