What if it were us protesting the Dem's stance on the second amendment? If we were told to leave the area they "told" us we could use and then started spraying us with pepper spray and arresting us? I guess that would be OK.

I may not agree with their message, but I swore an oath to defend their rights, unto my death. It is not something I take lightly. I believe in the Bill of Rights. Not just the ones I find convenient. And not just the ones I agree on the message.

We all have the same rights and the First is the first for a reason. Without that one, we have no say in how our lives are "run" by those we "elected". The Police on the line are pawns and were given an order. It is the ones behind the scenes who you don't see who are controlling things. Same as Re-create '68. Spagnolo gave several orders to protesters to stand down and then stopped when it got out of hand.
