The ACLU revealed that the police refused those arrested access to attorneys. Police did not let detainees use phones unless they posted their own bonds, and even failed to provide shoes, in one case marching a protester into court in bare feet and leg shackles.
Police are said to have tricked protesters into pleading guilty, by giving them the impression they had to plead guilty in order to post bond or make a phone call.

Why is that? do you believe that all law enforcement are criminals? I like to get to know someone as an individual before assuming or accusing them of something.
I bet if these people didn't protest they would have had a better chance of not getting arrested in the first place and besides, in this day and age can you honestly believe that the average citizen doesn't know their rights when being arrested?
Police officers have one of the most thankless jobs that I can think of. Are there bad ones? of course there are but I believe lumping them all in the "bad" section is a dangerous way of thinking.
