PEACEFUL PROTESTS ARE OFTEN ILLEGAL

When cops use teargas and rubber bullets, it's because a peaceful protest has become illegal

The media has made much about the use of teargas and rubber bullets against peaceful protesters.  The media conveniently ignores the fact that when the police resort to teargas and rubber bullets, it's because the mob refuses to obey repeated orders to disperse.

'Peaceful protests' are often illegal.  When demonstrators block roadways and sidewalks, they are keeping other people from going to and from wherever they want to go ... and that is against the law.

The police are being demonized for doing their jobs.  In some cities, cops are reacting to the demonization by refusing to break up the illegal demonstrations.  In other cities, mayors have ordered the police not to break up the mobs.  In either case, the nation has sunk into chaos.

We now have mob rule in many of this nation's cities and it's all about the perceived mistreatment of blacks by the police.  Americans have the right of free speech and peaceful assembly, but mob rule should not ever be tolerated!
