"They have broken the law and further divided this community. They must be held accountable for their abhorrent behavior."

"Whining protesters

Sunday night, Olympia Councilman TJ Johnson added fuel to the fire when he held a community meeting at City Hall where protesters whined about their treatment at the hands of police.

What did they expect?

Surely protesters understand that when they put themselves in harm's way they put themselves at risk. They cannot expect to be treated gently by police. Videos from the scene show armed police officers repeatedly warning protesters to clear the streets and stop blocking traffic or face arrests. Protesters didn't budge until doused with pepper spray, pushed back on the sidewalks with batons, or arrested and carried away to a police vehicle.

But they asked for it. Police are literally and figuratively caught in the middle between the port and the fort. Police have a job to do and that's to ensure that laws aren't broken. Blocking streets and interfering with the rights of others are acts against the law and police responded accordingly. This isn't a case of police run amok like we saw during the Vietnam protests of the 1960s."
