Hey, Okies? You better get some dashcams. The ACLU will be all over this one soon! Btw, it's my understanding that no city/state allows ''peaceful protestors'' in the streets. Can anyone tell me if that's not true in their city/state?
Yes, they are not allowed to be protesting in the streets. A formal protest requires registration with the city and the protesters have to pay for security. In practice, the police allowed them to block a busy intersection for weeks around 5-7ish pm. It became a shitshow with counterprotestors on an opposite corner. Eventually it stopped as the kids had to do virtual school and the weather got bad. They are all fair weather protesters. Despite a large Black population within a short distance, the BLM protesters were almost all white teenagers.
Tl;Dr The police cucked out and let the protesters do whatever so they didn't go on to bigger things. They even held listening sessions with the BLM group.
