Calls for media freedom during George Floyd protests as Australian news crew assaulted on air

They weren't attacked. They just didn't understand when police say disperse that means even camera men. They know now.

 

When police give a lawful order you must obey or pay the consequences.

 

Show me how it is a lawful command for the media doing their job in a public place to be instructed to move, given the First Amendment.

 

If you don't know the law in the country you're coming to maybe you should figure it out before you get there.

 

Don't show me pictures of your fantasies I'm not interested.

 

In other words....you have no idea. I thought so.

 

You will have to show me how the First Amendment exempts you from obeying a lawful command from a police officer. If you don't think the command is lawful, why? of course keeping in mind that the First Amendment does not give you the right to disobey a lawful command.

Why don't you stick to cane toads.

 

Why have you ignored the relevant question? Please answer it.

Show me how it is a lawful command for the media doing their job in a public place to be instructed to move, given the First Amendment.

What have 'cane toads' got to do with this?

 

I didn't see a relevant question. you asked why doesn't the First Amendment exempt you from all laws. Because it doesn't.

because the command doesn't violate any rights of the person being commanded.

 

I guess you can't show me in the first Amendment where it says you can do whatever the hell you want regardless of police giving you orders.

 

You know as well as I do that is not stated in the First Amendment. In the USA, why is it unlawful to be in a public place, going about one's occupation in a very peaceful manner? Show me where it is made Law that a dumbarse copper can violate normal civil rights by coming up with their own 'orders.'

 

yes because it's not stated in the First Amendment. Therefore it's lawful for a police officer to tell journalists to leave

if the police are telling you to leave yes?

I'm not aware that there was a violation of civil rights. Nobody has the right to disobey a lawful order.

 

What makes it a 'lawful order?' (*Take Two*)

 

Not attacked ey. There was another Member here who lied saying the cameraman was not struck by the Thug. Nah. Facts. Look at the live moving images and apologise for being so blind, please.

 

Yeah, they were not struck. Jayzuz. Watch.

 

yep, this is not just a black issue, bad cops effect all of us, we all need to stand up for change

 

They 'never made contact' ey. Watch the contact. Will you apologise to that Aussie on behalf of the USA?

 

That is just appalling.

 

American thug cops will murder their own mothers and get a paid vacation for doing it. Don't ever expect any of them to repect your civil and humn rights.

 

Is that really the best you can do?

 

Because it is not ordering the person to do anything that violates their rights.

 

Calling people names for not agreeing with you is the best you can do.

 

no not attacked made to obey.

 

Most of the cops are "trained" by the same small group of psychos. Their prime directive is to oppress black people and other minorities.
