Every protester in there is innocent from the perspective of the government. No trials have occurred. People like you justifying whatever happens are why police can get away with regular and repeated violations of the Constitution.
How do so many people lack reading comprehension?
Where did I justify anything? I simply stated facts and pointed out that the article is written by a student who attended the protest and goes to school at City U. And I said that now they can go protest peacefully, which is their right.
And it doesn't matter whose perspective it is. The students were arrested, spent a night in jail, and were released. Minor charges if they don't get dropped. This story is full of students complaining about how shitty jail was and stretching the truth.
Do you honestly believe the students, while in admitted general pop, somehow were singled out and not fed? I promise you that those students were forgotten by staff the moment the were booked and treated just like everyone else, which is what the students in the article are complaining about:
Yeah, that's jail in most cities.
I just wonder why literally no one is reporting on this if even some of it has truth.
I'm objecting to the "that's simply jail" attitude. Are you struggling with reading comprehension because you're in a fit of rage right now? Maybe your twelve-year old nephew can help you out.
