Former are very.

Sorry to hear about what happened to mr lloyd is a tragedy and it's time.

Excessive force because of the loss of life you know that concerns us greatly and i hope his family gets relief.

But as far as the person in the right to protest and goes i want to talk about what exactly are our rights to protest obviously the right to peaceably assemble it isn't trying in the first amendment.

But what that means is not that people have this absolute right to protest in the manner that they want you know you can interfere with other people's rights and so.

Are some classic examples with that during the ferguson rallies and riots people were out protesting in the streets stopping traffic.

And that's not a constitutionally protected manner.

Of protesting so.

There are places you can protest plays you can't so you have to first understand where you are it matters and how you protest matters and so when the police are dispersing crowds.

They're not just gonna say like a protest what they're doing is there is a concern with some.

Thing about protest that they have out and when i comes to.

Shooting a ball the put in a really spot b.

Isn't only you have people who appear approach.

The you do have sick and robert.

I think that to.

Causing damage to the people and attacking officers sell.

So they don't have the ability know where what they do with the around the medical i'll start.

They're not tough following our guidelines of where they have to be and what they can have.

So we have to- move then we have to tell them to disperse and if you watch the footage a lot of the protesters are getting very aggressive with the police.

So they're almost put in the police and- you lose either way if you let them have their way people are going to get hurt.

They get to the police that they don't protect their rights if they do something then they can complain about the police over reach.

So they have to realize these cops are in on almost impossible position to navigate and- from what i can tell.

They're doing the best they can i don't see any tyrannical despotism in the way of.

You know we're just saying.

We don't like this message so you can't protest.

As you're saying.

Nobody gets the protests nobody gets to do anything at six pm the sun does not everybody's got to go inside.

So they can be rough- i would say the compelling state interest has to be really really high to warrant such an action.

Like the threat of harm.

If they can't guarantee the public safety.
