Protesting is a non-essential activity.
Protesting is a non-essential activity.

Our Founding Fathers never once said that the rights given to us by our Creator go out the door in the case of a viral pandemic.
In other words, the Constitution still exists and it still protects us from tyrants.
The Raleigh Police Department had the nerve to tell someone on Twitter that protesting is a non-essential activity.
I misspoke before when I said that the Constitution only applies to the federal government. I forgot that the 14th Amendment makes the Bill of Rights applicable to the states through the Due Process clause of said amendment.
So what the actual fuck, Raleigh police?
