I think this was the main facet of their ill-advised "protest"; that we as free-thinking American citizens have the right, and some say responsibility, to question the police and the laws of our country. We live here, we built America into what it is, and we are responsible for the cultivation of change. Without resistance, we wouldn't have a sovereign state, we wouldn't have civil rights, and we wouldn't have the cherished freedoms we rarely take advantage of. It's as though the Sedition Acts are still in place, and as long as do-nothing legislation like this is passing there will be those who choose to express their discontent. I fully support these guys, regardless of how idiotic they've appeared and how poorly planned their actions were.
