Nothing to do with people blocking the street without a permit. Which is disturbing the peace. Which means the protestors are not peaceful at that point.<br /><br />"Perry's order stops police "from enforcing or threatening to enforce any rule, policy or practice that grants law enforcement officers the authority or discretion to arrest, threaten to arrest or order to move individuals who are violating no statute or regulation and who are peaceably standing, marching or assembling on <b>public sidewalks</b> in Ferguson, Missouri.''"<br /><br />Also please note that the Judge didn't give protestors free range to do whatever they want and police can still enforce the law.<br /><br />"The judge cautioned, however, that police still can enforce Missouri's failure-to-disperse law and other laws to control crowds and protect people and property."Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05649045833784522927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091078896160115890.post-74529024652469065802014-11-19T05:45:13.850-08:002014-11-19T05:45:13.850-08:00Killing an unarmed teen is against the law.

You will cry either way just like the Hurricane Katrina incident.Many complained not enough was done. <br /> If the police, Governor etc do not do enough you will complain. You and others will complain no matter what!!<br /><br />You and others will also complain about the police as always. If these "PEACEFUL" protestors stay "PEACEFUL" I would think not many problems will exist but we saw how peaceful people stayed during the 1992 L.A. riots.Lets hope that peace will prevail NO MATTER THE OUTCOME!<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5091078896160115890.post-73737768778472950742014-11-17T14:43:17.581-08:002014-11-17T14:43:17.581-08:00The above mentality is why Gov.
