I would argue lawsuits to take care of it. But by the time you get through the courts, chances are we will be in open revolt anyways.

One was filed. By the time the delays from the court and the city were finished, the ordinance had expired and been replaced by a new one. So the court said "this law suit is moot, the ordinance is no longer in effect". Corrupt, top to bottom.

Too soon, you have not been injured.

Too late, you should have sued earlier!

I am sorry, but you do not have standing.

Wrong court, you were supposed to start over there.

Nope, not here either, you need to go over there?

Well, now you are late again!

Jury box.

Been tried, and the curfew ruled by a judge to be ok.

Time for the next box.

If cops are no longer the defenders of the rights of the citizens, when citizens fear for their safety, which could just be a cop with a phone, shouldn't they be allowed to remove the threat?

I would say it is a citizen's duty to remove that threat.

I would argue we are certainly getting to that point.

It is the reason that I am on the fence with respect to Black Lives Matters. I understand they are terrible people, and mostly bought and paid for rioters. But at the end of the day, I have watched over a dozen events in the last 6 to 8 years where cops have gunned down people who have not offered any threat at all. All of the blame for those shootings and other killings are on the cops, yet they all got away with it. I know for a fact the police must be reformed. So, I support that aspect of things.
