Muchi Q Moffu
What were they warned of? practicing an unlawful assembly on a college campus where they pay money to assemble?
You pay money to attend, not to assemble.
It's the University's property to determine whether or not they have that right, not the state's at their arbitrary convenience. If the Uni said "no" explicitly (maybe they did, I don't know) then your point stands.
Sorry but even on campus the police have teh " right" to disperse any such unlawful gatherings as they see fit
What exactly was unlawful about their gathering?
The right to assembly is guaranteed in the first amendment.
Since no one seemed to know I looked it up myself.
http://definitions.uslegal.com/u/unlawful-assembly : US Legal Definitions
At common law, an unlawful assembly is a gathering of at least three persons whose conduct causes observers to reasonably fear that a breach of the peace will result. Although freedom of assembly is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution, law enforcement has the right to require disbursement of such an assembly as part of the "police powers" of the state. Determination of the potential dangers of riot or breach of peace are subjective and decided on the spot by police officers or other public officials.
Claims of "unlawful assembly" were often used to break up labor union picket lines until the late 1930s, against peaceful civil rights marches in the 1950s and 1960s, and by the police against anti-Vietnam War demonstrators in the late 1960s.

Interesting to note the college kids that these police attacked were on their campus well after the summit was over and the diplomats had dispersed. =/ and if you watch the night time video they're not doing anything organized or disruptive.
