The right to assemble and peacefully protest is a basic American right guaranteed under the first amendment of the US constitution. Police officers swear an oath to uphold the US constitution when they become officers.

We recognize that the actions of one police officer does not reflect on them all, and most police do their job vigilantly, appropriately, and with respect to the public. Deputy inspector Bologna has been caught on film abusing his power, undermining the people's confidence in the police, and violating rights. He must be held accountable for his actions
