They deserved to be paid. They were not mouthing off to the police. They were not trying to cause a riot. They were not taunting the police. They were not interfering in police business. And they didn't try to run when the police came to put handcuffs on them.

They were not doing the things that this female agitator in Philadelphia was doing.
