      <![CDATA[The criminal protesters were violating the rights of many other people and as a matter of course protest all police actions. The drunk had not thrown his knife down and the cop was forced to make a split second decision.

      <![CDATA[I'm appalled at all the complaining folks whose easy lives were slightly inconvenienced by the protests. Remember, the protests were the result of a BART police officer shooting and killing an unarmed man (he had already thrown his knife.)<br>
The vast majority of people in the USA are too complacent.

      <![CDATA[Well, you certainly know how to make very weak arguments. <br>
What you blandly label 'civil disobedience' was a full scale criminal action.<br>

      <![CDATA[The coffee shop analogy, although as enjoyable as a cleverly adorned late and trendy as the barista - doesn't fit. People using wi-fi at coffee shops can walk out or otherwise limit their patronage- can BART passengers do that?

      <![CDATA[BART was absolutely correct in shutting down cell phone service and I wish they would do it permanently. You have no more right to use a cell phone on BART than you do in a movie theater.
