At a rave party in Utah, called Versus 2, SWAT police, decked out in full body armor, toting assault rifles, and launching tear gas, stepped WAY over the line of proper police behavior. The party was completely legal, with permits acquired, and on private property.
Numerous people were beaten, and had attack dogs set on them, despite the fact that most of them were not doing anything wrong. Multiple people were beaten and arrested merely for asking "What's going on?"
People who were videotaping what was happening were ordered to hand over their cameras, or face arrest. They weren't just ordered to shut the cameras off, they were ordered to give them to the police, or put them on the ground and leave.
I'm disgusted by this.
