"Lawful orders to disperse" is there such a thing? You don't hear about "lawful orders to stop speaking" or "lawful orders to stop practicing a religion "
And just because a" clear verbal warming " was issued, doesn't mean it had to be followed, nor does it mean excessive force woukd be used.
While I agree that some instances of "peaceful protestors" aren't actually peacful, many are. And in some of the cases where the protestors aren't peaceful, the show off force is exessive.
- microcolonel 6y agoWhen your protest becomes a riot, yes, it is lawful to order dispersal. You have a right to expression, not a right to ransack other people's property (public and private), if you commit the latter in the guise of the former, then you are in the wrong.
- monocasa 6y agoAnd what if the police attack a peaceful protest and create the cover for others to ransack? As I saw with my own eyes occurring.
- microcolonel 6y agoThat too is criminal, it's not a one or the other thing, nor does one justify the other.
