Chris Hayes said on Rev. Al's show that Ferguson cops won't allow people

[valerief]

to stationary protest. Mobile protest okay, stationary not okay.

Oh, yes. Now I remember. We have a right to mobile assembly, not a right to assemble.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances

Stupid Bill of Rights forgot the word "mobile".

[Purveyor]

1. CBS Evening News just said 'large groups' prohibited but they didn't define

'large'.

[valerief]

2. Must be like porn. They know it when they see it.

To be defined to suit their needs.

[HipChick]

12. when it comes to black people, large means

a group or 3 or more..

[JEB]

3. I shall not be moved.

4. that town is gonna pay so much $$$ for civil rights violations

they won't be able to afford a police force when this is over

[Lee-Lee]

5. And all that money

Will have to come from the residents via taxes, so it's a circular cycle where nobody really wins.

[Rex]

15. Well yes someone wins, poorer and only if the local law enforcement is legit.

But yeah, just thinking about that too...it will hurt those that get hurt the most by these decisions. The cops can all move on and get work. Or maybe not all of them.

Still this is a civil rights issue now, the PD has/had ample time to stop rioting and work with other law enforcement. Certainly not help the prime suspect flee the crime scene.

Holder is heading there, I think maybe the CoP is in for a rude awakening.

[valerief]

6. Maybe Nixon will assign an emergency manager who'll purchase

a pricey for-profit security force. And they'll force everyone out of Ferguson. And, like Detroit, land can be picked up for a song.

[gordianot]

7. Those responsible for voting in that City Government will not like what is coming.

The Police Department is beyond repair.

[csziggy]

21. If I were a resident I would forego money in return for firing the PD

Every member of the police department fired and the DOJ assist in selecting new officers.

[KittyWampus]

8. it'd be great if residents could meet at the Town Hall or a school. That way outside agitators

would be more obvious.

[ancianita]

19. Hayes talked to people from Arkansas and Wisconsin there to support, not outside agitators.

[sadoldgirl]

9. I tried to look up the restrictions

on the first amendment during my attendance with the OWS groups in my city. It appears that the SCOTUS decided to give the when, where and even what decisions to the local authorities. I believe this happened in 68 and was due to the marches against the Vietnam war. Perhaps someone else knows more about this, because I could never find that decision anywhere.

[n2doc]

10. Hmm…These guys don't seem very mobile

Maybe the police were afraid if they made them exercise they might suffer health issues...

[L0oniX]

11. If you can't protest or demonstrate then this isn't a Democracy.

[valerief]

14. Well, it's been proven in many places we can't vote. nt

[L0oniX]

23. You measure a democracy by the freedom it gives its dissidents, ...

not the freedom it gives its assimilated conformists.- Abbie Hoffman

[951-Riverside]

13. Its true. I'm watching the live videos

They're telling to keep moving or they'll be arrested. They are not allowed to stand still.

SHAME ON THEM!

[woo me with science]

16. K&R

Thank you.

[MohRokTah]

17. They change the rules every few hours to create frustration.

The cops want violence and are, in fact, inciting it.

[valerief]

18. Right. They need to say on Hate Radio and Hate Teevee that black people

are the bad guys.
