Peaceable assembly does not include blocking roads. My comments are in blue.
INDIANAPOLIS — IMPD officers shut down Lafayette Road between 16th street and Cold Spring Road for close to two hours Saturday night as they removed protestors from the roadway.
IMPD said officers responded to an event center in the 1700 block of Lafayette just after 5 p.m. A group of individuals was protesting the evening and were asked to leave.
Blocking traffic, this is a busy area, not good.
Police said the group went into the roadway and was blocking traffic.
Peaceable assembly does not include jumping on vehicles (that aren't yours anyway.)
At one point a vehicle drove close to the protestors and several people began jumping on vehicles, according to a police spokesperson.
Uh, what? How many people have heard of Eritrea? How many know where it is? I do, it's next to Djibouti.
Pictures from the scene show a large group of people holding signs and flags. One sign appears to read “Regime Change in Eritrea.”
Again, what? Eritrean dictatorship is counter-protesting? I'm so confused! Why are they at 16th and Lafayette blocking traffic?
A witness told our crew on scene the group is protesting the Eritrean dictatorship and supporters of the current government came to disrupt the event.
