Due to the outrage, the Chancellor, who lauded their restrained actions earlier has now placed the two on leave. However, every cop who was there and stood by is complicit.

If she had ordered that violence not be used, the results might have been different. She must go as well as these brutal officers. The fish stinks from the top.
