That article pissed me off.
"She got into an argument and was thrown to the ground."
"So and so jumped in to defend her."
"I then jumped in to defend and assist him and was beaten and arrested."
"My cousin also was beaten and arrested trying to help us."
All of those can be summed up from an alternative point of view:
"The woman and other people in her group were exceedingly angry and unruly. Despite multiple attempts to calm the situation, the woman continued to shout and cause a disturbance. The police restrained her and physical intervention was attempted by multiple men in her group. The men were stopped from their physical aggression and were arrested as well."
