National Protest and 'disband the cops' discussion (and now ICE)

My family and I are Hispanics and proud to be but the burning of the American Flag and looting of small businesses and Neighborhoods across the U.S needs to stop. Being close to Ft Bragg watching looters on social media burning downtown businesses in Fayetteville and other areas surrounding it keeps us speechless. My hometown in the Southern tip of Texas not far from the Mexican border isn’t partaking in rioting and the above actions seen across the U.S. Instead, they are celebrating their children and grandchildren graduate schools, welcoming a new chapter in life one built for the American dream. African Americans aren’t the only ones who have seen adversity in their lives, the people that I know have as well but we fight on and define moments of chaos by pushing forward.

Multi-Agency Command Center - Frequently Asked Questions about the Curfew

Can I be outside my house (on my property) after 8 p.m. and before 6 a.m.?


Yes. You can be on your porch, yard, patio, etc., but if a law enforcement officer or other public safety official asks you to go inside, or take any other action, you must follow the instruction.

So, to close out the earlier discussion, in the video, how many times did law enforcement instruct them to go inside?

Also, curfew violation is a misdemeanor.

Many protesters still don't seem to are because funds were set up pay their bail.
 
At 4:22 the good guys in the protest came out with a win. That guy should have fallen down the stairs a bit longer before being thrown over to authorities.

Here’s the info I have been looking for if anyone is interested. It seems they’re threatening misdemeanor and arrest to breaking the curfew. Fair enough.

Still haven’t gotten a solid explanation as to how assaulting the citizens on their porch is justified. Further up on this MN FAQ page it states law enforcement are supposed to inquire on why you are breaking these rules.

Me having met Americans before, I can more than assume most don’t know this exact rule. A police officer telling me to go inside then shooting at me with a less lethal doesn’t explain anything. At my home, on my property, telling me what to do smells grossly unconstitutional.

Just adding my thoughts on this - we only saw the kids taking the video as the police were coming up the street telling residents to get inside their houses. We don't know what these kids were up to before they took the video... For all we know, they could've participated in the riot and just ran back home to watch the police walk by.

Another thing I noticed was the kids were wearing black hoodies and looking very much like Antifa members. So I'm thinking that in that moment, the perception of the police is that these kids are violating curfew, didn't listen to the police telling them to get inside the house and instead continued to take the video, and, based on the clothes they're wearing, the cops probably thought these kids participated in the riots.

Either way, the kids should've listened. It wasn't an ordinary day. Civil unrest was happening and the police were trying to restore order.
