The Constitution IS THE LAW. It is the supreme law of the land, and the police have violated it. To be arrested is one thing, but to not be allowed to see a lawyer is another.
I wouldn't object to the arrests if the protesters were treated like any other criminal...that is, allowed to see lawyer, and kept in a dry cell rather than a fucking cage with chemicals everywhere. Not to mention being given food and water and allowed to use the toilet. But they weren't. They weren't treated the same as anyone else. They were mistreated because they were protestors.
It is unAmerican to ignore the Constitutional rights of the protesters, even if they did break the law.
