This is part of Obama's statement concerning the protests in Egypt:
"I want to be very clear in calling upon the Egyptian authorities to refrain from any violence against peaceful protesters.
The people of Egypt have rights that are universal. That includes the right to peaceful assembly and association, the right to free speech, and the ability to determine their own destiny. These are human rights. And the United States will stand up for them everywhere."

There is overwhelming multimedia evidence from the press showing United States police officers abusing their powers and assaulting peaceful protestors. Please use your position of authority to condemn the violent actions that are being used to coerce people not to protest.
