Amid a rally that drew more than 100 protesters to downtown Raleigh, North Carolina, on Tuesday demanding the reopening of the state's economy, a tweet about the demonstration from the city's police department was clear: "Protesting is a non-essential activity."
The tweet came after cops earlier declared "protestors are in violation" of Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper's stay-at-home executive order to stop the spread of the coronavirus "and have been asked to leave."

Why Northam and company in Virginia haven't been dragged out into the street is beyond me.
Hard to imagine anything more essential than the First Amendment.
Unless mabye it’s the Second.
The Democrats own Virginia now. They have confiscated control of the voting apparatus.
Video all the statements and archive them
If there’s anything that’s enshrined in the constitution of the United States of America it is the right to peaceably assemble
Are wonderful and excellent president Donald J Trump has been very careful not to use the term or even hint at martial law
Martial law , which has been declared at least 50 times in the 1800s and 1900s , is the only constitutional state of government they can possibly limit free speech or assembly
I believe our wonderful president Donald J Trump understands all of these constitutional intricacies in great detail
I believe furthermore , that he also understands that he can use his words carefully to place pressure on these democrat governor’s who want to act like dictators, and make them tow the line
It’s happening, right here before our eyes. The bloodless fall of America. Not a bang, but barely a whimper.
That lady just hit the lottery.
Can you say Civil Rights Violation? CHA-CHINGGGG!!!!!!
Just Following Orders...
Before you despair check out some of the video of the Lansing, Michigan protest. That has to have ‘em soiling their Depends.
If everyone will get on the floor and hug their knees, no one will die from an elephant stampede.
There are no elephants in NC.
See! It’s working!
Time for North Carolinians to flood Raleigh like Michigan has flooded Lansing today.
#OperationGridlock
I wouldn't necessarily say that. Read "Hamlet," then if you can, watch a good production of the play. He started out a bit slow, but in the end transcended fear and came around.
Oh yeah. Ending political activity under color of law.
Just like those civil rights workers in Mississippi back in the 1960s.
... and we also thought the cops would be on the side of freedom. Then again, men standing around wearing little masks aren’t real men ... they’re scared little tyrants ... scared not of us (they have the guns, for now), but of the flu.
Here is comes.
SO now it’s non-essential ‘activity’, not just work. OK.
Also in the 70s about one in a hundred people in Virginia were foreign born. Today it is 1 in 10. Moslems, Arabs, Mexicans, and Chinese all flood into the DC area to get better control of the government.
And as DC has increased it’s control over the economy, vile leftists have flooded into northern Virginia.
“Before you despair …”
Maybe there is some hope? I know Whitmer has been even crazier with her lockdown than Herr DeWine. I just know many of my neighbors have been delighted with DeWine and Acton’s panic show.
We are getting to the end of the “peak” in Ohio, and the local hospitals are half full, and the number of covid cases is insignificant.
I’m furious about this nonsense.
*** Read “Hamlet,” ***
Uhhh, I must have missed out on the culture gene. I read McBeth in High School, and by the end, I was the one that wanted to gouge out my own eyes.
‘The bloodless fall of America. Not a bang, but barely a whimper.’
some on this website are gleeful...
Police have no legal authority
