You got the bias part right...but not mine, the MSM, that still hasnt presented a fair picture of the pepper spraying.
Quote from OP's allegedly damning article:
Oh, that's right... here's your honest Abe act. Basically there ISN'T one person who was there who will corroborate any of the SEVERAL versions I've heard attributed to the policemen being put on administrative leave (this is done to protect the public from a potentially dangerous officer. Their guns and badges are taken from them at this time as well) and informed that their actions will be subject to a full investigation of possible use of excessive force.
And THE ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS TESTIMONY LIKE THIS:
ELLI PEARSON: Well, we were protesting together, and the riot cops came at us, and we linked arms and sat down peacefully to protest their presence on our campus. And at one point, they were—we had encircled them, and they were trying to leave, and they were trying to clear a path. And so, we sat down, linked arms, and said that if they wanted to clear the path, they would have to go through us. But we were on the ground, you know, heads down. And all I could see was people telling me to cover my head, protect myself, and put my head down. And the next thing I know, I was pepper-sprayed. AMY GOODMAN: You were in the white jacket? ELLI PEARSON: Yes, I was. AMY GOODMAN: And what did the pepper-spraying feel like? ELLI PEARSON: Well, I couldn’t see anything. And so, if I—you know, I felt like pepper spray go over my body, and then I started choking on the fumes. And I lifted my head at one point, and one of the protesters had come to kind of protect our huddle of people, and he just told me to keep my head down. And then, from that point on, all I could hear was screaming around me and people being jostled.<End Quoting>
The same exact Q&A almost to the letter would go down between ANY lawyer worth his salt investigating this matter. When the police engaged in brutality which is clearly shown in the video. I'm in no way buying the shit claim that they were in any way actually curtailed from doing anything. There was an island of people sitting on the ground and a big old avenue out ... Nah, they wanted to show the rest of the crowd who was boss by torturing people on the ground. And pictures and video do not lie. And the intelligence of a 'journalist' who makes that molehill the basis for publishing and then includes evidence to the CONTRARY as his supportive documentation has fools-a-plenty in his readership The whole fucking article is nothing less than LAUGHABLE.
