Know Your Protest Rights | MSNBC
Democracy dies in darkness and in absence of individual rights to protest.
@James Upshaw Yep.
They, for the most part are too illiterate and dysfunctional to even see the irony.
Glad I’m older and have less time to deal with the utter stupidity.
@Jason Dixon Hit the nail on the head don’t RIOT! Protesting is protected by the constitution.
@Romance with the Past that what I’m screaming.. I’m all for Peacefully protesting. Even is they are is the street legally. Get the permit let cops block traffic. I’m fine with that…it’s legal. When you decide to act stupid… Go to jail…
I don’t know what is more sad the people that actually believe everything the Democrats shovel their way or the people that actually think there should be destruction in any and all peaceful protest. Because I don’t trust what any politician says Republican or Democrat. What peaceful protest involves destruction of property, setting fires, blocking traffic and then what somebody honks they get mad and start beating on their car
@Rodney Bean Yes I don’t trust either party. The Democrats my lord our President is out and out lying about so many things. Dumb easy to point out lies. And only a handful Republican are not capitulating to the Democrats.
As The Clash sang years ago 🎶 ” Know Your Rights ! ” 🎶
I’m not crazy! Institutionalized!
You’re the one that’s crazy! Institutionalized!
you have the right not to be killed unless it’s done by a police man…………
Clash were only wrong one time. Rudy CAN fail!
I came from a small town in PA- In the 80’s-PUNK WAS KING! My deceased hubby played in a couple punk bands-opened for many bands. CBGB’s RIP Bobby❤️
Yes, take advice from a song.
There is a difference between protests and riots. American citizens have the right to protest. Rioting only results in violence and destruction. I’m one hundred percent for public protests…we must be heard. But nobody will listen to us if we are dead or in jail. Stand strong and proud America….just dont burn us down.
Yes getting hit by a car is still assault with a deadly weapon last I checked
@Greg Araujo NO, they don’t, the far right are the ones who come to those protests and cause trouble.
@psycobleach46 tullis ,Did you ever learn the difference between federal property and state property… I’m guessing you haven’t.
@psycobleach46 tullis , ” Antifa not the problem” bawhahaha bawhahaha bawhahaha. That’s a lie… Look at crap hole Portland.
@Greg Araujo , BINGO
@Greg Araujo , That moron tryed telling me. That states are in charge of federal property and building. And mayor’s and Govnoer’s… Can tell the government what to do with federal property… Bawhahaha bawhahaha bawhahaha… He’s too stupid to know Homeland security. Is the ones in charge of the safety of those properties and buildings. Man, the participation trophy generation are stupid.

Let’s just try to not illegally block roads.
This should be common sense but some folks don’t have any.
Good information to know. Thankyou!
The right to assemble peacefully for redress of grievances is enshrined in the First Amendment of the US Constitution.
Do it on the side walk, dont assault people or loot and you’ll be just fine, if not, oh well…..
FILM THE POLICE!!!! ALWAYS! BUY DASHCAMERAS!
Instructions to stay safe from the police. That on it self is al telling how the things are going….
It is NEVER a good time to talk to the cops. Avoid doing so whenever possible.
I really appreciate the network for airing this, great content
Jefferson Quote
“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their money, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them (around the banks), will deprive the people of their property until their children will wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.”
A great example of how wisdom is best digested out of context.
Knowing him; knowing the history, one might find the statement at best tone-deaf, and worst purposefully misleading, for the sake of spin. The founders understood their work would be viewed by us. They simply never imagined THIS.
Tip ” Try have ” Simple Cloud Connected Camera’s. So then you have all your video’s in the cloud.
