During an “immigration protest” against President Donald Trump’s plan to ban migrants from terror-prone nations, a group of liberals thought it would be a good idea to block the road. As soon as fed-up police officers arrived, however, they realized law enforcement isn’t playing by Barack Obama’s rules anymore.

When Obama was in office, you could find activists for the New Black Panther Party, Black Lives Matter, and various other anti-law enforcement groups destroying neighborhoods, looting businesses, and blocking roads, a favorite for liberal protesters. Undoubtedly, law enforcement officials haven’t forgotten how the left treated them over the last 8 years. Now that Trump has reinstated an atmosphere of support for the men and women in blue, they’ve been empowered to once again restore order and appropriately deal with those who perpetuate civil unrest.

Last week, a pro-illegal immigration protest kicked off in Arizona in support of a “Day Without An Immigrant,” which gained little media attention likely because of its small numbers. After around 100 vociferous activists gathered in downtown Tucson, local police were called in when the liberal demonstration turned criminal, as they commonly do, with participants disrupting the peace and unlawfully blocking the road.

Instead of pulling up and passively monitoring as violent protesters escalated the situation, as demonstrators probably expected, police quickly took action. In footage uploaded to YouTube, unruly law-breakers can be seen being pepper-sprayed by officers who’ve had enough of their abuse of the First Amendment before finally arresting several of them.

Tucson News Now reports that four individuals involved in the violent protest were arrested and have now been identified. David Leon, 24, Joan Cichon, 68, and Tanya Alvarez-Blancarte, 42, were each charged with felony aggravated assault on a peace officer, while Najima Rainey, 39, was charged with obstructing and failure to identify.

In the video, Rainey is seen being carried out of the road by several exhausted officers as she dramatically screams for help. Several others can be seen pushing and hitting law enforcement officials before wailing and writhing in pain from the harrowing effects of capsaicin. A small woman in red, who appears to be Cichon, is recorded pushing and grabbing officers before she is captured lying on her back on the ground.

Of course, the suspects all claim to be victims of police brutality, denying that they’ve done anything wrong and were merely demonstrating their constitutional rights.

“All we’re doing is letting our voices be heard and that can’t even happen,” said Tey Echea, one of the protesters. “They pepper spray and throw the lady on the ground.” “They threw the lady on the ground first. I was next to her. I was reaching down to help her up. And as I was reaching down to help her up is when they took the guy, took the spray right in my eyes. In both our eyes,” said Rolande Baker, a protester.

As expected, none of the protesters mentioned the physical attacks on police officers, not to mention their illegal hindrance of traffic. Blue Lives Matter, a website run by past and present law enforcement members, explained that the video proves that these protesters are guilty of unlawfully blocking traffic and physically assaulting officers. The site adds that while an encounter with capsaicin is extremely painful, the protesters were asking for it by committing such crimes.

These activists are lucky that they weren’t dealt with in a worse manner, as the police officers demonstrated restraint even with those who assaulted them. In fact, the ones who only received the business end of a mace can were let off with a warning. These are serious crimes that not only endangered their own lives but the lives of others.

Our law enforcement officials have to deal with murderers, child molesters, and terrorists on a day-to-day basis, however, they were forced to take the precious time they need to devote to more serious crimes and give it to these emotionally-unstable liberals because they simply cannot comprehend that their rights don’t surpass the rights of everyone else. Bravo to these officers for enforcing the law and restoring our safety as they daily risk their lives to deal with the most obnoxious of criminals.
