What if the police were wrong here though? What if it violated our right to assembly? Even if it was a needless it's a massive abuse of power and a constitutional violation. Virus or not civil liberties still exist as provided by the Constitution.

> What if the police were wrong here though? If the police is to do their job, they will be wrong sometimes. The only way to make sure that they're never wrong is to keep them from doing anything. Americans should stop acting like a pointy-haired boss running over sysadmins. It's getting ridiculous. Also, if you want to protest police brutality there are legitimate cases all around the country. You don't need to sell made-up outrage.

  > Americans should stop acting like a pointy-haired boss running over sysadmins. It's getting ridiculous. If you aren't american, why do you care? > Also, if you want to protest police brutality there are legitimate cases all around the country. Police state isn't about brutality. It's about control. Like where you can go, when you can go, how you should exist. It's pretty much a state of mind. Where the population, out of fear, will accept any restrictions without pushback. > You don't need to sell made-up outrage. Physical restriction isn't "made-up" outrage. A single case of police brutality is horrible but not the end of the world. Police state is systematic. Also, people can be upset at both. Not sure what your angle is here. It's strange how you relentless defend authority and cavalierly dismiss the issues of police state.

  Sure they can be wrong but they need to be held accountable and their failures highlighted when they are.

> What if the police were wrong here though? File a lawsuit against them and see how far you get. I'm sure they are acting lawfully.

  File a lawsuit? The courts are closed in many places right now so lawsuits aren't possible. Hence the police can act with no reprisal. The ACLU will probably have a field day after this is over.

    > The ACLU will probably have a field day after this is over. That's like saying we've not really become a police state. Like saying the constitution really hasn't been thrown out. Like saying the police can't really act without reprisal.

      Are sure you really understand what's going on right now?

        Yes. The military is rounding up all the santanic child sexual assault criminals and rescuing the children. All the power to them. p.s. don't tell anyone
