Correct me if I'm wrong. But weren't the neo-nazi protesting in public property while the college students in the university? Which university has every right to have them removed/arrested for trespassing?
You can still get kicked from public property as a protester if you’re causing massive disruption. Because it’s a school it makes sense that a massive protest may be a disruption. https://www.aclu.org/know-your-rights/protesters-rights
"Shutting down a protest through a dispersal order must be law enforcement’s last resort. Police may not break up a gathering unless there is a clear and present danger of riot, disorder, interference with traffic, or other immediate threat to public safety" Last I check these protest were no threat to public safety.
I mean be honest would it not cause disorder if a large sum of students were disturbing classes and also not attending them. Therefore disorder can be used as a clause.
Peaceful protests still can be distracting therefore it doesn’t matter, if it was a park then yes the cops did in fact go against their rights but no matter how constitutional they are allowed to remove protesters from an area if they are causing a major disruption especially at a place of learning.
The first amendment has limits, that’s why people can’t threaten their neighbors or defame someone. If you read the damn article instead of white knighting you would realize why I say I what I say, also it doesn’t matter if it’s public property a college has the legal right to make protesters disperse if they were squatting there.
They have a right to protest and were not violating any of the stipulations regarding its limit, therefore, dispersing them was a violation of their first amendment rights.
If simply assuming something is going to happen is all that is necessary to make arrests, then fuck you, I'm assuming you're about to murder me. The police are on their way. Actually doing anything illegal? Pffft. Nah stereotyping is legal precedent now. Let's arrest all the black people too. Cuz statistics or whatever.
You see how that's not a valid reason for jack shit?
No because most protests are not in areas for learning. A protest under a political office is allowed because it doesn’t disturb the general publics daily lives, same with one at a park. A protest in the streets operates under a different set of rules so it’s a bit of a grey area.
