Again, everyone's beef should be with the city, not necessarily the police. If the use of force standards are too lax, change them. The ruling is emphatic that Frashour was well within protocol.

This is called expressing solidarity, saying "this is our issue too because it affects all of us as a community," and building ties with other people who share a commitment to related issues.
