Yesterday over 100 North Carolinians from across our state gathered in front of the Governor’s Mansion to protest overreaching shutdown orders that limit our freedom. The protestors peaceably assembled and petitioned Governor Cooper to reopen North Carolina and let our state and our lives start getting back to normal.
The Raleigh Police Department responded by arresting one of the protesters and then sent this outrageous tweet:
The First Amendment Our Constitution’s Bill of Rights clearly states:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
Whether you support or oppose these shutdown orders this is an egregious violation of these North Carolinians’ Constitutional Rights.
