31. There is no justification for the violence used against a non-violent person

As shown in the videos you referenced or in the other videos of the confrontation. You also ignored the first part of Huang's tweet - that she had been sending in a video and when she looked up the police had enlarged their perimeter, leaving her inside of it. Any "surprise" she gave them was from their poor work, not by anything she did.

They were far more violent with her than was necessary and she did nothing to provoke them other than being in a place where they did not want any reporters.
