Does the First Amendment actually exist?
I'm talking about in practice, not as in "yes, it is written right there in the Constitution." I'm also specifically talking about the right to protest.
Do we really have the right to protest? Any time there's a sizable protest, particularly criticizing the government, the police show up and shut it down - even if you're being entirely peaceful and on public property. What happens if you refuse to cooperate with the police's orders? You're tasered, pepper sprayed, arrested, beaten, and/or killed.

2 답변The police shut down violence, not protests. Otherwise, they wouldn't be allowed at all. You want to see a protest shut down? Try that shit in Cuba. I just saw it on live TV on ESPN after that game the other day. Bob Lee is giving a live broadcast from the streets, this guy comes on screen and throws pamphlets in the air yelling something in Spanish. Not 30 seconds later does an unmarked car show up, dudes come out and stuff this guy and his buddies in and they're whisked away. He probably faced a firing squad the next morning.

I'm also specifically talking about the right to protest.[/quote] The answer is simple. Peaceful assembly and non-violent protest are protected by law. Riots are a no-no, as destruction of property and disturbing the peace are a direct result of such "protests". A prime example of such vitriolic protests would be the anti-Trump protests being conducted by Black Lives Matter and Bernie supporters in New York. Rather than peacefully protesting a candidate that they dislike, they commit assault and scream vulgarity. http://youtu.be/R_lcFJLmDXg http://youtu.be/2q6jHad-XG0 http://youtu.be/gI9MCvK2MGs [quote]Do we really have the right to protest? [/quote] Absolutely. Not sure why you'd ask such a question. [quote]Any time there's a sizable protest, particularly criticizing the government, the police show up and shut it down - even if you're being entirely peaceful and on public property. [/quote] Aside from the Civil Rights protests of yesteryear, what specific protest are you referring to. If it's a leftist protest, you clearly aren't protesting the government as the ideology of the left is primarily focused upon that of a strong centralized government. Government involvement is integral to socialism. That's why fascists like Hitler were so pro-socialism. It's a perfect gateway to controlling the populace. We see a miniaturized version of such fascism in observing the politically correct, feminists, and hardcore leftists who control this country's higher education system. Suppression of free speech is often carried out by "protestors". I'd venture to call them aggravators. http://youtu.be/6EdHTm2fORU http://youtu.be/fo6uBBmpS9I [quote]What happens if you refuse to cooperate with the police's orders? You're tasered, pepper sprayed, arrested, beaten, and/or killed.[/quote] Killed? No. Subdued and/or arrested? Sure. Murder is illegal. If such malpractice was happening, we'd hear about it far more often than we do now. Occasionally we see cops abusing their power, but it's not as frequent as in other countries. I respect law enforcement for keeping us safe. We can't distance ourselves from those we pay to protect us. They are people too and in alienating them, we end up doing a great disservice to ourselves.

1 답변I thought the first amendment prevented laws against freedom of a [i]peaceful assembly[/i] So yes cops can beat the shit out of you for protesting, but congress cannot make a law where you can only protest between the hours of 12pm-8pm
-
3 답변Pretty sure you'd be violating the 5th Amendment if you are going against the authorities, which would override the 1st.

8 답변You know most of those Anonymous protests the other year were peaceful, yet they were shut down by police often using less-than-peaceful means.

Yes, but very few rights are absolute. The right to free speech and to protest is subject to restrictions just the same. For example, article 11 of the ECHR (praise be) states that: 1. Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and to freedom of association with others, including the right to form and to join trade unions for the protection of his interests. 2. No restrictions shall be placed on the exercise of these rights other than such as are prescribed by law and are necessary in a democratic society in the interests of national security or public safety, for the prevention of disorder or crime, for the protection of health or morals or for the protection of the rights and freedoms of others. This article shall not prevent the imposition of lawful restrictions on the exercise of these rights by members of the armed forces, of the police or of the administration of the State.

1 답변We do. Is anyone killed or imprisoned for speaking out, like in other countries? No, we have the right to protest.

작성자: Spike5289 3/25/2016 8:07:49 AMAs a result of some court case or another, and in regards to the freedom of assembly underlying a protest, states (?) have the right to regulate the "time place and manner" of any large group of people. Whether or not that's an obstruction of a constitutional right, or being adhered to properly I can't say. Please do call me out on any misinformation, I'm sure there's something in there.

작성자: A Syrian Refugee 3/25/2016 4:35:52 AMWhat sizable protests are you talking about that didnt result in violence or impeding others from living their lives that wer shut down? I cant think of any. Trump rally protests were riots by defintion. Ferguson/baltimore were riots. You are just making shit up as the typical poor victim liberal does

2 답변The constitution says peaceably assemble, not flip your shit and assault law enforcement.
