The real tough guys of UC Davis
We are reminded of the compelling power of nonviolence. No other force could have won the moment. No other method can convey the fierce decency of those protesters.
Conversely, every time a protester throws a bottle at a police officer, or breaks a window, or spray paints a tree, he or she does exponential damage to the Occupy movement. Non-violence leaves bullies quaking in their boots. As Occupiers develop new ways to protest and communicate, they will achieve their ends with peace, especially when it is met with brutality.
