Do we have freedom of speech in America? Do we have a right to peaceably assemble? You be the judge.
What would you do in a situation like this? A word of advice: Think about it now!!!
So what would you do? Stand there and watch? Some did.
Make a joke of it? Some did that to.
Or would you do something like this when you witness an abuse of power?
The answer is yours.
We have to take into account that the above is only a 10 minute or so clip and without knowing the whole facts it is hard to make a sound judgement. But we also have to take into account that some people in a position of power abuse that power, to the extremes, and what are we to do under such circumstances? Power corrupts and absolute power . . .
There may come a time in this country when we are going to need our best police officers on the side of the american citizens, on the side of common sense, and on the side of the Constitution and not on the side of whatever bogus law can be conjured up. Let us remember that slavery was once "Legal" in this country. Did that make it right? Once in this country, by "law" if a slave escaped up north you had to return them if asked, where they would be beaten, or killed upon your compliance of the "law". Does that make it right?
Please go and check out the organization below and their TEN ORDERS WE WILL NOT OBEY. Number 10 states: We will NOT obey any orders which infringe on the right of the people to free speech, to peaceably assemble, and to petition their government for a redress of grievances.
There would have been no American Revolution without fiery speakers and writers such as James Otis, Patrick Henry, Thomas Paine, and Sam Adams “setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men.”
Tell your cop friends to go and check them out and have them sign that oath if they think it worthy.

Also from their website: Tyrants know that the pen of a man such as Thomas Paine can cause them more damage than entire armies, and thus they always seek to suppress the natural rights of speech, association, and assembly. Without freedom of speech, the people will have no recourse but to arms. Without freedom of speech and conscience, there is no freedom.
Therefore, we will not obey or support any orders to suppress or violate the right of the people to speak, associate, worship, assemble, communicate, or petition government for the redress of grievances.
