His focus is quite the opposite. He seems concerned that this sort of violence by police may intimidate peace-supporting people of color from showing up at marches.
"If you can beat on a reverend in the halls of Congress, how many of you want to come out to these marches? You’re going to think the same thing’s going to happen to you. If you can beat on ministers and fathers and priests and women, this is going to have a tremendous effect on communities of color, and so they recognize this."
So WHO benefitted by this show of police violence against a peace activist???? Those who would hope to discourage other people of color from showing up to be harrassed, beaten and arrested? Yearwood stated at the scene that he had no intent to (perform civil disobedience) be arrested that day.
