Climate Protesters Block Highway to Burning Man; Nevada Rangers (Over?)React

link

Blocking roads is bullshit, and I have little patience for climate hysteriacs.

And, of course, they're also anti-capitalist protesters, as anti-capitalism is a cornerstone of climate hysteria, and the illiberal left generally.

Many conservatives are gleeful about this video of the Nevada Rangers and Paiute Tribal Police arresting climate protesters blocking a highway as thousands of people are trying to get to Burning Man.

But seems to me like an appalling use of excessive force. 

Some of the idiot protesters have chained themselves to the trailer they've used to block the road. Rangers ram the trailer with a truck, and could have seriously injured them. It's hard to see how ramming the trailer was justified.

At least one also immediately draws his sidearm and more-or-less throws one of the (female) protesters to the ground.

Yes, the protesters are stupid and annoying. Yes, it is dangerous to block roads--it can prevent emergency vehicles from getting through, among other things.

OTOH: Burning Man. Hard not to think: so what?

But this just seems like way too much force to me.

JMO. I don't really know anything about law enforcement.
