Keep moving or you will be arrested for unlawful assembly... what law is that?

[whttevrr]

Does anyone know what law says that the first amendment is invalidated by lack of movement?

10. They probably didn't get a permit or some silliness like that

[lovemydog]

3. There may be 'time place or manner' restrictions

currently in place. I'm not justifying or condoning it. Just trying to give a possible explanation.

5. Just so bizarre...

Goodnight...

7. During the Viet Nam war, we did a big protest here in L.A.

It was Century City, actually. The police didn't want to grant the protest permit because LBJ was in town giving a speech, but they had no legal reason to deny the permit. They granted us the permit, with the stipulation that we (the parade) had to keep moving. We walked just a couple of blocks when we found the police blocking the march's route. When we were forced to stop by lines of cops, they said by stopping, we violated our march permit. The cops charged 50,000 people and beat the shit out of as many people as they could catch. The streets were littered with the bodies of unconscious or injured protesters.

The media said the protesters started it. The cops haven't changed, and they never will unless they're forced to.

11. This is the playbook for Police Action in Fergerson

Outright entrapment and instigation by police.

reminds me of this lyric from The Mothers song "Who needs the Peace Corps?"

I will love everyone
I will love the police as they kick the shit out of me on the street

14. June 23, 1967: Antiwar protesters march toward the Century Plaza Hotel

Ten thousand marchers, by most estimates, were assembling across the street from the Century City hotel. Hundreds of nightstick-wielding police--using a parade permit and court order that restricted the marchers from stopping to demonstrate--forceably dispersed them.

44 years later and now they don't need a court order?

16. One of my friends out here was at that demo and got his head bashed in by the pigs. He's

a great guy, doesn't bear the pigs any ill will seemingly.

9. You can protest if you are a 'publicon

Threaten the President? Zero arrests

Block traffic? Zero arrests

Point guns at Federal officers? Zero arrests

12. They have to find some reason to arrest people.

After all, their 2nd largest source of income has historically been from court costs/fees. With the Micheal Brown death they might be starting to ball behind last years 24,0000+ issued arrest warrants.

15. How is this legal?

Freedom to Assemble implies that people group together and "assemble" into a crowd in one place...

I do not remember the founding fathers calling for the 'freedom to march'. It is "freedom to 'assemble'" ...

Right?
