If that was the case then you'd have to prevent pregnant women from driving since that also is statistically high risk
A demonstration in and of itself does not have to be dangerous.

Why exactly did the cops move in on these people?
They didn't...they were holding a line so the protestors didn't flood an intersection. Cops never moved into the crowd.

This is my bet on what is going to happen. She will stop doing interviews now that it has gained in popularity, she will also announce that she will not take the police to court for some reason or another, all in an attempt to prevent any further investigations into her claim.

Ok yeah. Makes sense. What a messy bunch of people. As I said before, these bait tactics they use to instigate cops are a joke.

The police have an outstanding criminal complaint against her from her previous trespass, from which she bailed because she faked her pregnancy then. If the police is certain that the incident was fake, they may choose to go after her just to settle it.

And how do you know that's legit? Don't you think it strange that that arrest sheet was leaked by an anonymous source? I wonder if she could sue the police under the data protection act for allowing that to be publicised (if, in fact it's a genine document rather than a forgery).

Since when did we make excuses for reasons cops kick and pepper spray a pregnant woman, for protesting? I am sure it was a peaceful right of assembly, until they did not want to leave when told to or whatever...
Since when do we make excuses for this?
In real life if I kicked a pregnant woman, killed her fetus, and pepper sprayed her, I would be going to prison....
Since when do we make excuses to justify cops kicking pregnant woman killing their fetus, and then pepper spraying them?
since when do we make excuses to justify this?
Your a sick bastard for making excuses to justify this....
PERIOD...
I will beat the snot out of you, if you tell me to my face a pregnant woman deserves to get kicked by cops and pepper sprayed, that just tells me you would let my wife, my friends and whoever else get beaten and killed by authority, for no reason except the fact the authority is mad, the people are utilizing one of their rights...
Since when do we make excuses for this? Maybe in China, or Cuba, or the former Soviet Union, but in USA?
Bunch of brainwashed fools...
Your idiots.. ALL OF YOU who thinks protesting is wrong... IDIOTS..
BTW if I make you mad, good, I am a fighter and I am gonna be one of the ones that fight back....
This is just how it starts, get used to that feeling you have...

Funny that you all bought into this story. What a contradiction that the thing she protests against is her aspiration. She tried to decieve and promote dishonesty to attain wealth beyond her station. Back to the gutter for you girl.

I'm not sure how anyone can blame the police...she claims she was three months pregnant...you usually can't tell someone is pregnant at three months, and she was wearing a very baggy shirt.
She endangered her child by going to a protest, she is a flipping idiot for that...if there is anyone to blame it is her.
And I'm surprised by all these people claiming the police murdered the "baby"....first trimester...I thought I was just a parasite at that point Oh, how the definitions change when you want to drum up emotional reactions.
This is also questionable.
They diagnosed that I was having a miscarriage. They said the damage was from the kick and that the pepper spray got to it [the fetus], too,
No doctor that I know of is going to make a claim like that. This happened 5 days after the incident...I really question if any doctor is going to go out on a limb like that and state that it was the direct cause of the kick or the pepper spray...especially 5 days after it all happened.
She said she was homeless and three months pregnant, but felt the need to join activists during their march last Tuesday.
I'm still lauging at these claims of murder...but I bet all of you would be fine with her having an abortion...right???
if there is anyone to blame it is her.

If she is homeless and at a protest while pregnant, I say Darwin was at work here.

Can the government place any restrictions on the use of a public forum? Yes. Depending on the specific public location and the government’s interest in ensuring safety and order, restrictions governing the use of public property for assembly and protest may apply. The following are some locations-specific regulations to consider when planning protest activities. Public sidewalks: Demonstrating groups should leave rooms for passer-by and should not block the flow of pedestrian traffic. If leafleting, demonstrators should not force passerby to accept leaflets or harass individuals who refuse leaflets. Public Streets: Any march on the public street is typically considered a parade; therefore the location, time and duration of the march are subject to regulation by the city officials to prevent traffic problems. Marchers may be expected to obey traffic laws (such as red light) during the march. Lobbies of public buildings: It is more difficult to obtain access to the inside of a public building than it is to obtain access to a street or sidewalk outside. However, if some nongovernment- sponsored expressive activities are permitted in the lobby, then similar activities by others may not be prohibited based on he content of the expression. But if no activities are permitted, then it is unlikely that a rally or demonstration would be allowed inside.
Focus on the critical sentence: "Yet, when a victim explodes or acts out in unacceptable ways, these same officials are shocked and indignant."
What exactly are these "unacceptable ways" of exploding or acting out? Who decided they were "unacceptable"? Why is it that "reluctant school officials" will not "take definitive action" against the bullies -- thus tacitly conceding that the bullying itself is not all that "unacceptable" -- while the same officials are "shocked and indignant" when the victim protests too strongly?
This pattern, and certain of its origins, will be found throughout history, in every culture around the world. The pattern is a simple and deadly one: the oppressor -- that is, those who are in the superior position, whether they are parents, school officials, or the government, or in a superior position merely by virtue of physical strength -- may inflict bodily harm and/or grievous, lifelong emotional and psychological injury, but the victim may only protest within the limits set by the oppressor himself. The oppressor will determine those forms of protest by the victim that are "acceptable."
You see this pattern with regard to many helpless, lonely children in addition to Billy Wolfe...
The oppressor may inflict unimaginable cruelties on innocent victims -- but the victims may only protest in ways which the oppressor deems "acceptable." The profound injustice is obvious, but not in itself remarkable or unexpected: this is how oppression operates. But ask yourself about the deeper reason for the prohibition. This is of the greatest importance: the victims may only protest within a constricted range of "permissible" behavior because, when they exceed the prescribed limits, they make the oppressors too uncomfortable. They force the oppressors to confront the nature of what they, the oppressors, have done in ways that the oppressors do not choose to face.
Take some time to appreciate the unfathomable cruelty of this pattern. You may be grievously harmed and even permanently damaged by the actions of those who hold unanswerable power -- but you may only speak about this evil and its effects within the very narrow limits set by those who would destroy you. If you are killed, the identical prohibitions apply to those who still manage to survive and who would protest the unforgivable crime committed against you. In this manner, the complacency and comfort of those who possess immense power and wealth are underwritten by the silence forced upon their victims. The victims may speak and even protest, but only within severely circumscribed limits, and only so long as their rulers are not made to feel too uncomfortable, or too guilty. Anything which approaches too close to the truth is strictly forbidden.

You have a knee jerk reaction that this woman is innocent, which she may not be.
