Every demonstration/protest that I have been involved in required permits and specific locations. The March for Life in DC has more than 100,000 people every year. Participants are all peacefully marching in the streets which were were closed in advance. The very few policeman involved at all were only for allowing traffic to cross periodically.
Todays protests are not peaceful demonstrations. They are unlawful assemblies.
.....”Todays protests are not peaceful demonstrations. They are unlawful assemblies”......
Exactly and therefor should be broken up as soon as they begin forming on the street.
