Now you are switching terms....first you said the cops should be able to tell people to go home....they can’t legally tell you that unless there is a curfew in place.....now you are saying “clear the area”....well that isn’t the same thing is it....

Yes they can order people to disperse....but they cannot tell them to “go home”

Let me explain something to you. Whether you can grasp it or not, the police have the right to tell you what to do. You can take it up later with them, go to the city council, file a complaint. When an officers tells you to do something, you do it.

Asking people to go home is not abusive. It is a crowd control issue, and the officers on site have specific reason for ordering people off the street.

Where did you ever get the idea it was unlawful for an officer to tell people what to do?

Ever been to an accident site? Try walking up to the dead victim on a public street. See what happens if you refuse to vacate the accident site.

You don’t know what you are talking about.
