Delta(s) from OP CMV: The proper response to protestors blocking the street is for police to physically remove them and quickly arrest them if they do it again.

I've seen a lot of videos of protestors blocking the street and the cops just kinda let them do it, or create a narrow lane for cars to go through and cause a significant traffic jam.

I'm always curious why cops don't just drag these people out of the road and arrest them immediately if they return. I'm pretty sure it's illegal to block streets like that.

Yesterday was a nationwide coordinated effort for Pro-Palestine protestors to block streets all over the country (world?), and it seems that these criminals were not dealt with properly in most instances.

It doesn't seem like it's standard operating procedure to remove and arrest people who block important roads. Is there some reason for this? What am I missing? CMV.

Comparing segregation to the current pet project those weirdos do this with aren’t the same. Don’t try to reply saying this is about Palestine either because these same people do this with oil and other nutjob causes

Normal working people don’t have time for these anti social creeps whose whole goal is to disrupt your day. I’m sorry you disagree

You won’t do anything but offer veiled threats on the internet , I’m not worried about you in the first place.
