No surprise as many charges as they can muster up and arrests will happen even if the protests were non violent. Darned if they do and darned if they don't.

Here it will depend on who at the top of the tree tells the RTP what to do.

But I guess as long as your group of people walking together doesn't exceed 20 you are perfectly safe in these outdoor organized events.

its ok to be a naught boy,but not ok if your a member of the public

[think-and-ask]

in fact, almost all people per every county
never liked or trusted the leaders of whole government.
so inside of most minds, is an anti-government person.
solution is, to do humanly politics, not restrictions based on assumptions.

LIES LIES LIES why do they not arrest them, these protest are there because you not listening to the people, they want you blast off.. so move it.. arresting people because they come up for their rights and then using the emergency degree as an excuse... PATHETIC, they would not protest if you not such a snake... like said... resign and disappear
