This smells. The very fact that the CA is asking for the protesters to admit Police acted within their authority, immediately tells me, they did not. Why else would he, right out of the gate, drop all charges of unlawful assembly? Possibly because there is no such thing. The First Amendment guarantees the rights of Americans to assemble peacefully. In my opinion, Herring knows law enforcement violated that right. With Capitol Police and State Troopers responding in riot gear, the only people responsible for creating an other than peaceful situation were the cops themselves.
Our brave Governor and fearless General Assembly members (insert sardonicism here) must have been quivering in their collective boots as this group of boogeymen demonstrators streamed into the Square. I have one word to describe both they and law enforcement...COWARDS!
CA Herring will be "working with the appropriate state agencies to determine whether state regulations can be revised to better accommodate state Capitol protesters." I think not. Herring, politicians and law enforcement have zero intention of "better accommodating" anyone who dares to question or hold accountable the status quo. They want to amend laws in order to shuffle protesters off into areas in/around the Capitol, commonly known as "First Amendment Expression Areas," in order to keep them from the general public's view and dilute/negate their message.
**Note to all of my countrymen....The ENTIRE United States of America is a First Amendment Expression Area!
This is yet another example of how pathetically out of touch politicians are with their constituents. How police in general are nothing more than thug like puppets, at the beck and call of their masters, being utilized to abuse and violate the rights of their fellow citizens. Sadly and in my opinion, more often than not, with smiles on their faces.
