“This is no longer a peaceful protest,” police said on Twitter as they ordered the crowd to disperse immediately.
Another example of police violating rights.
A “protest” is not a person. Only individuals can “no longer be peaceful”….
The police only have the the legitimate authority to arrest individuals that are committing crimes. If I am at a protest, and not committing a crime, the police have zero legitimate authority to interfere with that right. What they are doing is like them taking your drivers license because your neighbor was driving under the influence. Someone else is committing a crime is not a reason to take my rights.
Americans no longer are bright enough to even recognize when their rights are being trampled. The deliberate dumbing down has been very successful
