Reply #6: i watched the video, but i also saw it in person.

the vets were climbing over the wall with the intention of getting arrested. the people who were dragged were people who lay down and refused to walk. no, we should not have been denied access to the capital, but i dont believe that the police in this situation were acting in an outrageous fashion. they were unfortunately doing their jobs. i saw no one being intimidated.

everyone left the permitted route that the march was supposed to take. the whole thing i believe was illegal at that point, and they could have arrested far more people. the vast majority of people who were arrested were the ones who were climbing over the wall with the intention of being arrested.
