They are more than allowed to peacefully assemble. No amount of 'goading' justifies that type of response and I would hope that officer is more than just removed from the security detail, he should be removed from the force.
It is unjustifiable for a police officer to aim a weapon at you and tell you he's going to ####ing kill you.

I didn't say they were not allowed to peacefull assemble, nor did I support the officer or defend him.
I fully support their right to peaceful protest.
I think we can both agree the office is not acting in an appropraite manner to the situation. There is no excuse to have his weapon raised. If I was a peaceful protester and I saw that I would attempt to put as much space between me and that officer. I am not sure I would follow him yelling "Officer Go #### Yourself is going to shoot me".
People need to use their brains when dealing with people that appear to not be using theirs.
To my mind it appears they are trying to get a reaction out of him, and I doubt it is a positive reaction that they seek.
