"I disagree with what you said you are hearing from others, that this was premeditated abuse of power and that the state police were used by the Governor in retaliation. The protesters were warned along with everyone else in the room. Those who chose to "break the truce" as stated above, were arrested as warned." - Wendy Chase
Hearing or seeing, multiple (like more than 6)? You sounds confident, Wendy. What is the basis of your disagreement? This by all accounts was far from anything remotely non peaceful. Whatever truce you refer to does not override constitutional protections, rights and responsibilities. This was clearly reflective of the growing arrogance and abuse of powers from elected leaders and attitudes towards constituents. One victim was a 70 year old woman slammed to ground once behind the curtain. She was mistaken for a vocal protester from the prior meeting sitting in front of her. I'm sure the this woman is petrified, not just because of the incident, but when reading comments like yours that clearly shows your allegiance to party and not to people.
