I heard a retired cop say the police will just let the protesters do what they want, as long as there is no violence, or destruction of property, then they'd get an injunction and make arrests.
First - why would an injunction be needed? If I sat down in an intersection, the first cop who came by would arrest me. Why is it these anarchist groupd get a free pass?
Second - What's the definition of destruction of property? Not making a mediccal appointment? Not delivering time-sensitive goods? Delaying fire trucks or ambulances? Preventing people from getting to jobs? Keeping people from makng plane or ferry connections? Those are all destructivem and possibly fatal for some.
The native bands are being silenced by professional protestors and the ancient indigenous chiefs, who want to live like it's 1700, except for their electricity, indoor plumbing, SUV's, computers and smartphones. The case was already decided in Supreme Court, and the indigenous chiefs lost, so they just ignore the ruling.
