They are just linking arms. That's it, and they get the okay to beat them back.
This was the UC Berkeley's response to what happened...
“It is unfortunate that some protesters chose to obstruct the police by linking arms and forming a human chain to prevent the police from gaining access to the tents,” Birgeneau said. “This is not non-violent civil disobedience.”
Yeah, linking arms is violent protest, that is the justification for what happened. Please defend that for me.
