Calls for media freedom during George Floyd protests as Australian news crew assaulted on air

Success meaning they disperse, lives and property are protected, and without without leadership eventually move on.

You do that with temporary force, you can't placate the ignorant violent masses. You demonstrate strength and inevitable punishment for their behavior.

 

And what has that got to do with this Topic?

 

He was struck twice. Once with the shield and then with a fist.

 

When police give a lawful command you have to follow it.

Being part of the press doesn't gain you immunity.

If these foreign press people are too delicate the play with the big boys maybe it's time they go home. Write reports about cane toads.

 

Probably because you don't understand what a lawful command is.

 

not obeying a lawful command. There was orders to disperse they were just sitting there. They should be happy they weren't arrested.

If you don't understand our laws you shouldn't come here.

 

Good I hope it hurt.

You play stupid games you win stupid prizes.

if the big city is too tough for these precious little island folk maybe they need to go back home and let the big boys handle it.

 

So much for your Constitution, ey?

 

The Constitution never says the press are exempt from following lawful orders.

If the police tell you to disperse you disperse.

 

Lol.


What?

 

When the police give a lawful order you have to follow it or you will you pay the consequences.

 

Bull


****

They do not have unfettered authority.

 

Please remember... your countryman was not in your country.

The police say move.... you move..... it is not negotiable on public property.

They don’t like it, they can freely head back to their homeland.

 

But they do have some authority. That authority is to give lawful orders and enforce them.

 

Our Constitution apllies to US Citizens, not foreign rabble rousers.

 

Prove it !

The cops have the right to move the public on public land & I challenge you to prove otherwise.

 

It also a place you people here that aren't citizens. But you don't have the constitutional right to disobey a lawful command.

Holding a camera doesn't give people immunity from lawful commands

 

I agree with him. They don't have unfettered authority but nobody ever claimed that they did.

what they do have the authority to do is give a lawful command and then force it.

 

Rubbish.

 

I agree it does apply to people who are here that aren't necessarily citizens.

but there is nothing in the Constitution saying that because you're holding in camera that you are immune to having to follow lawful commands, or that you're immune to the enforcement of such a command.

 

Yeah. Submit to the will of the state.

 

The police were set up to fail by the leftist politicians who didn't give the police enough resources.

 

Well if you think having to obey laws is submitting to the will of the state then sure.

This is not the place for anarchy.

 

It is amazing how quickly the performative lovers of liberty and small government cast aside those notions in the face reality. The reality is conservatives are hostile to liberty and small government, they just want no impositions on their ability to do whatever they want. However, if there is a police state repressing black people, all of a sudden those same people are the most unapologetic cheerleaders of "obeying the law" in existence

 

I'm curious as to what else submitting to the will of the state could mean??

And there really isn't a place for anarchy. Though I surmise that those who engage in it generally feel that it's the only option left, whether or not that is the reality.
