In cities across America;

the right to peacefully protest is enshrined in our constitution to “ petition government for redress of grievance..”

This can be traced as far back in (common law) Bill of Rights 1689, the Petition of Right, and Magna Carta https://www.parliament.uk/about/living-heritage/evolutionofparliament/parliamentaryauthority/revolution/collections1/collections-glorious-revolution/billofrights/">https://www.parliament.uk/about/liv...

You might ask why go deep in to history:

Simple">https://www.archives.gov/exhibits/... - in America our Judicial System is largely based on Common Law and I thought you might benefit from a deeper understanding

If you understand the construct & legal framework, it can actually help you understand various lawsuits.
I do NOT know why this suit has received minimal national attention- it should
It IS just as important as Portland
What is happening in Detroit Is bad

After reading the emergency motion & affidavits
I figure I’d use what voice on this platform to say what’s happening in Detroithttps://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="👇🏻" title="Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)" aria-label="Emoji: Rückhand Zeigefinger nach unten (heller Hautton)">
“There is no place in Detroit or this County for intentionally brutalizing, injuring, and maiming, non-violent protestors, medics, and spectators”

I uploaded the plaintiff’s emergency filing to a public drive. I will warn you some of the facts are really difficult to read but I think it’s important for you to read what’s happening in Detroit

Late on 9/4/20 the Plaintiff’s TRO granted in part
As alleged:
“.. police have responded to peaceful demonstrations with beatings, tear gas, pepper spray, rubber bullets, sound cannons, flash grenades, chokeholds, and
mass arrests without probable cause”

I wish what is happening in Detroit would get the same attention as Portland. The Aug 22nd clash was really bad
Page 8
“Aug 22, 2020 officers beat them with batons, sprayed them with pepper spray, fired tear gas and rubber bullets at them, rammed them with a police car, and more”

The Court really excoriated the Defendants
“nothing in the record that indicates that Plaintiffs will not experience further constitutional deprivations and even physical harm at the hands of the police...”
Read page 11
it’s astounding that there’s minimal reporting about Detroit

For my followers in Detroit I’m sorry I didn’t tweet or create a thread sooner
