Synopsis for "Up Against the Wall"

After rescuing a dean from a student riot, Cap is asked to make a PSA condemning the students for rioting. Although he mentions that violence shouldn't be the answer, he mostly condemns the dean. When he goes off script, the Hood hires Batroc's Brigade to take him out, but Cap easily defeats them.
