A federal judge on Wednesday declined to grant special rights to volunteer street medics beyond that of general demonstrators who must disperse when police declare an unlawful assembly or riot.
Although Plaintiffs goal of providing aid to protesters is undoubtedly admirable, this Court has found no legal authority for affording protest medics, as defined by Plaintiffs, unique recognition under the First Amendment beyond that afforded any individual who attends a protest, U.S. District Judge Karin J. Immergut ruled.
Protest medics may continue to protest, and provide medical aid during the protests. They simply have no unique status under the First Amendment that allows them to disregard lawful orders.
The judges decision comes as the city enters its 98th consecutive night of protests, which began shortly after the May 25 death of George Floyd, a Black man who died after a white Minneapolis police officer knelt on his neck for more than eight minutes. Her written decision denying a temporary restraining order followed a hearing held on Tuesday.

A federal judge ruled that #antifa self-described street medics have no special rights and must disperse when ordered to by law enforcement. Four of them sued, claiming cops violated their special status. #PortlandRiots https://t.co/RcGnSVFSvU— Andy Ngô (@MrAndyNgo) September 3, 2020
For your interest.
Ping!
Special status?
Like “short bus” speshul?
Wasn’t Lefty a “Medic”?
This should include the Press too they are not real press they are streamers with homemade patches that say “Press”and are one with the rioters as they will never take pictures of the rioters faces following the rules the rioters made.
What kind of special stupidity is this?
Maybe medic is just a special form of gender and saying you are it, makes it so.........................
All the Medics have Guns.
And BLM documentation advised the group to print Press Credentials - and pose as Videographers.
Wasnt Lefty a Medic
Gaige Grosskreutz also claimed to be a “medic” as he chased Kyle Rittenhouse down the street with the intention of killing him.
This also means you can’t have a dozen Antifa avoid dispersal orders by all claiming to be medics.
BOOM!!
One arm now.
[[[Special status?]]]
LOL. Who is indemnifying them if they screw somebody up and they drop dead? Hope they have malpractice insurance.
Thats what he claimed, I guess he used his pistol to give final pain relief!
The street medic in Portland intentionally contaminated the crime scene. Theres video of him picking up shell casings with his bare fingers.
Exactly. From what I have watched, most seem to have a backpack full of first aid kit supplies, (i.e. band aids aids, gauze, etc) and water bottles and a crash course on WebMd on how to treat cuts, etc.
In Kenosha when some Antifa type got knocked out by a light pole they knocked over, they picked them up like a rag doll and threw them in he back of a SUV and drove off. Who cares about immobilizing spine, neck, etc. to prevent serious injury.
Bunch of little fags wanna be military but didnt have the balls to serve.
Marxist little dopes.
“Gaige Grosskreutz also claimed to be a medic as he chased Kyle Rittenhouse down the street with the intention of killing him.”
I think he was the one still holding a 9mm after half of arm was blasted off.
