“Two Federal Protective Services officers were injured, one in the hospital with a concussion and the other with a cut over his eye. The rioters remain at large,” the department added.
Is that a trick question? Or, are you intentionally being obtuse and avoiding the fact that “protestors” are, without question, assaulting federal law enforcement officers?
It doesn’t of course. It’s perfectly legal for any person or group to shut down any street for any reason they choose whenever they choose. Everyone knows that.
My apologies. My sarcasm didn’t come across. But if you think it’s legal to disrupt the flow of traffic just cuz you feel like it, I recommend that you try it and report back the results. Here’s my AI result. But you are free to believe any dipshiddery that you choose. I won’t use my incredible logic to interfere.
Is it Legal for a Citizen to Shut Down a Public Street?
Illegal without a permit
Shutting down a public street is generally considered illegal without a permit. The First Amendment protects the right to assemble and express views, but it does not extend to intentional obstruction of traffic.
