Police In North Carolina Arrest Peaceful Protestors, Declare Protesting A ‘Non-Essential Activity’
Protesters rally for NC to reopen. One woman arrested for violating governor’s order.
More than 100 protesters rallied in downtown Raleigh to reopen North Carolina on Tuesday, describing Gov. Roy Cooper’s stay-home order as an unconstitutional overreach that will kill the state’s small businesses.
But at roughly 12:30 p.m., police asked protesters to disperse.
“You are in violation of the executive order,” said a police captain. “You are posing a risk to public health. If you do not disperse, you will be taken and processed at Wake County jail.”
Most of the crowd began leaving after a third warning.

“It’s really ironic to book someone into jail for violating a curfew in the name of public safety, when we’re calling to stop people getting booked into jail in the first place, in the name of public safety,” said Zaina Alsous, with the activist group Dream Defenders.”
One such example in link mentions a woman who was standing outside listening to music, she was arrested and throw in jail for being out.
