I think this is another false representation of what is happening. No one is saying that protestors cannot protest or have to go away at the request of officers.
You have,
repeatedly! Just go back to your post 163:
"I am talking about protestors entering a law enforcement operations.
When officers tell them to stay away and then they keep crossing the line."
What line?
Are you talking about the masked ICE agents verbally telling them to stand back? What does that mean?
Did the officers set up a perimeter? What does the law say about such a perimeter? What does it say if they did NOT set up a perimeter? (They did NOT in this case, as the first video below critiques.)
Its about the line for which protestors cross that changes their actions from a protestor on the sidelines. To an agitator who is interfering with law enforcement operations.
Yup, there you go again. Assert, assert, rinse and repeat. It's his fault for 'crossing the line.'
Define that line for us, please.
Do some more legal reading, and figure out what you are trying to say before you come back here and just repeat yourself. Because you have NOT defined the line at all. As far as I can tell, you are saying exactly what you just said no-one is saying: that the protesters cannot protest.
Try getting specific.
Video from 6 minutes before shows a few protesters turning up and blowing whistles. They are standing on the footpath, defined by law to be a public place where they can protest. They blow whistles, part of the protest. Is this crossing the line?
Then a masked ICE agent (don't you love how Stormtrooper all this is?) starts getting in Pretti's face, not the other way around.
Is this ICE agent allowed to do that?
He walks right up in Pretti's space, forcing Pretti to walk backwards for about 10 meters.
Is the ICE agent allowed to do that?
Did Pretti do anything ILLEGAL by this point?
Public space. Filming. That's it.
Where did he cross the line?
What if Pretti had slipped on the icy sidewalk and banged his head on the concrete and died?
Then these buffoons didn't like him rushing in to help the lady that fell over, so they immediately pepper-spray Pretti, wrestle him to the ground, and there's about 5 seconds of wrestling.
One ICE agent yells "Gun gun" as he REMOVES IT - so what happens?
The other buffoons shoot Pretti dead.
You do not yell "GUN GUN!" when the victim has been immobilised and you are REMOVING IT!
That's just plain unprofessional in a situation of heightened anxiety.
The ICE agents involved should have their body camera footage released to the public so professionals can analyse it and have mainstream reporters release it to the public. Then they should be prosecuted to the maximum extent of the law to set a precedent that this kind of incompetence is NOT acceptable!
The line has now been clearly explained. Pretti crossed that line. This is fact.
Ha ha ha! Buddy - you
tell yourself that.
But I'm still
just a bit hazy on the details.
So hazy that a I'm tempted to use a certain 3 letter acronym starting W.T...? but I try not to use that sort of language.
Asserting he crossed the line a thousand times does not PROVE he crossed the line, or even define this mythical line of yours.
But you do you!
Just tap your ruby slippers together 3 times.
"He crossed the line. He crossed the line. He crossed the line."
