"In any group, there are always a few commenters who will advocate for violence in response to police misconduct and abuse. These are generally not indicative of the group in total"
Um... You mean pointing out a single person who is misbehaving, and then trying to paint an entire group as tainted is unfair? Like what you're doing here with officer Berry?
Bashing on parents at the beginning of the post is pretty gratuitous. Nowhere in the actual events at the University do parents take a hand in this farce at all.
What we need is Donald Trump pointing the finger at each of them and saying "you're fired." Starting with police chief and working down to every last officer involved.
"I was just following orders" stopped being a valid defense about 70 years ago.
Then sue each and every one of the bastards for civil rights violations.
Perpetual "investigation" when you know that you will never have to present an actual case.
Sounds like a perfect job for a few associates who create billable hours and worthless paper. A creative law firm wouldn't even need actual associates.

Re: Re: This is a normal response for anyone who knows security
Personally, I'm tired of the "ZOMG! Terrorism!" response any time a citizen is concerned about their privacy and freedoms.

This is a normal response for anyone who knows security
When I set up a firewall, I set it up in stealth mode where it doesn't respond at all unless it's traffic I've authorized.
So this response is actually appropriate from the point of view of the NSA.
