Beth Lamont, Humanist Chaplain posted a blog postA Law To Protect Peaceful Protestors
Witnessing the over reaction to peaceful protestors by police across the nation is alarming to concerned citizens who recognize that this response is contrary to the United States' First Amendment Rights of Free Speech and our Right to Assemble in Redress of Grievances that are insured by Law.A new Federal Law is needed that will assure that these rights to "Assemble Peaceably" are respected, especially against all threats, abuse, attacks with weapons by local law enforcement, against protest…See More
