Paintball guns, really?
UNH police had to break up a large party in the middle of the day on Saturday, and did so with tear gas and paintball guns. After breaking up the day party on Madbury with tear, officers attempted to march students down garrison using paintball guns as force. In a video account of the events, police seemed unable to answer the whys, and seemed to take extreme measures under the circumstances. One thing that I found peculiar about the aftermath of the events was that the video was taken down. In what has turned into an investigation on how it was handled, the video was considered to be evidence. Either way, it seems to be a restriction on the freedom of the press. Even the girl who was filming was yelled at and push by police for not moving. Keep in mind, she was just walking down the sidewalk minding her own business.
