"You can yell as loud as you want if you're a fraternity, but if you want to do something political you can't?" Eugene Puryear questioned a campus police officer, who requested to see authorization for the students gathered at the flagpole. Puryear and several others from Students Against Mass Incarceration (SAMI) stand together in protest against the death sentence for Troy Davis, an African-American man convicted of murder in 1991.
