I don’t think I’ve misjudged this:

“In this particular instance, the police had a good reason to tell him to leave, to avoid a physical disturbance and incite the crowd to violence.”

So his constitutional rights being taken away are to “protect him”. Nice.

Constitutional rights are there as long as a large group of people who are acting illegally don’t like it.

First of all, enumerate the Constitutional right that was violated.

Second, the police have a duty to protect him and property. In this case, having watched the video and reading the transcripts, I do think they acted accordingly.
