Police and Other Officials Are Increasingly Refusing Unconstitutional Orders to Arrest Protesters
Last week, New York police defied governor Cuomo’s orders to arrest hundreds of “Occupy Albany” protesters.
Today, a Nashville judge refused the Tennessee governor’s orders to break up “Occupy Nashville”.
A Baltimore police union and two firefighters unions have written to Baltimore Mayor Stephanie Rawlings-Blake (who wants to shut down Occupy Baltimore) asking that the protests be allowed to continue.
And city employees from Irvine, California to Providence, Rhode Island have correctly said that – whether or not they agree with the protesters’ views – the protesters’ have the right of free speech and free assembly under the Constitution.
Perhaps this is the start of justice for 99% … instead of just the top 1%. See this, this, this, this, this, this and this.
