Police State or Just Bad Kids!

The Boston Globe reports Police are using photos, websites to identify rioters on December 20, 2006. They are trying to identify which students were involved with the riot. According to the Globe, Michael Gargano, the Vice Chancellor for Student Affairs and Campus Life alerted the parents of those allegedly involved with the protest. The protest started because of the increased Police presence on campus. A residential area of the campus is being monitored by state police after 1,800 alleged students of the campus rushed a residential area after a football game was lost.
The students are being monitored even though for alleged activities. They are confiscating camera’s and arresting students. I believe the students have the right to privacy in their dorms. They should be able to protest. The violence against the police is directly related to the Dogs and police state on campus. The mounting tension is based on the fact that the police are more concerned about their selves than students hurt during the same incident. “Police are looking for the worse offenders, particularly those who threw the items at the Police”. They admit they are concerned with the worse offenders. The ones who were trying to hurt the officers who were there to monitor the daily lives of the students. How could this go so wrong? Police seizing public camera’s, hunting people down on the internet who have video’s of the event. What are they looking for? Like a typical whiner, the Police Chief was concerned more about her uniform as it was “completely dirty and soaked” . She should be concerned the students rights are being violated, and it is the very root of the situation in UMASS. The students have a right to privacy in their homes. Tim Sullivan said “he was concerned that those who watched the riots and didn’t participate would be unduly punished”
I agree. The police are concerned about their men. They aren’t being accountable to the fact American’s are no accustom to being herded like sheep. We feel we have the right to protest a Police State. They are responsible because very few police officers are dedicated to raising the bar, and being the voice of reason. More and more, they feel protesters are a plaid onto society. They call out the dogs of their own son’s and daughters, and are directly responsible for upholding un-constitutional ideals. Freedom is what we are taught. Freedom is what we expect. A police state is illegal. Take them to court. That’s my opinion, and I’m sticking to it!
