Now watch as the Minnesota police completely ignore this order.
-
So… who is responsible for enforcing this restraining order? I’m willing to bet quite the pretty penny we’re not going to see any US Marshalls (or whoever) out there arresting offending police.
-
So a judge has to remind the police to obey the law? Sounds reasonable to me./s
-
The fact that we are even reading this headline is deeply disturbing. Freedom of the press is supposed to be guaranteed by the 1st amendment. It’s absolutely crazy that a judge would need to grant such an order. And whoever wrote that the police will just ignore it- you’re probably right, and that makes all this much worse. They know there will be no consequences for defying the judge, or the constitution…
-
Am I a dumb dumb, or doesn’t freedom of the press apply here?
-
Oh wow, now there is a law that says they have to follow the law. I’m fully confident that these police will enforce this new law about following the law on themselves.
-
My initial reaction was, “Oh, that’s good.” Then I quickly realized that there shouldn’t be a need for a restraining order in the first fucking place. Fucken hell it just keeps getting crazier.
-
I’m sure they’ll pay attention to this and definitely be punished when they don’t follow the order!
-
In stunning news, people believe a group of police who fail to follow the law will follow a new law.
-
Isn’t this by default in the constitution? Fucking hell you guys
-
This reminds me of that time in St. Louis where the fuckhead cops used the kettle technique illegally blocking people in. They beat the people that they blocked, including journalists and *their own undercover colleague*!
They need to rein in their violence and prejudice, fucking animals. Everyone that I’ve ever known that was a cop, had no fucking business being one. Until we see a shift towards police accountability, things won’t change. The “blue wall of silence” shit needs to end. They actually need to be held to a higher standard because of their authority.
-
Imagine a world where a judge issues a restraining order against the police for something already protected by the United States constitution. What the actual fuck is going on.
-
after they fucking lined them up and photographed them one-by-one yesterday
-
Damn right! Freedom of the press!
-
If those cops could read, they’d be very upset.
-
Minneapolis Cops have a real problem. Decision tree out the window
-
Minnesota is where they arrested the black guy reporter on air only among white news reporters isn’t it?
-
That a judge had to actually give that order is insane
-
Just think about the fact that this restraining order was even necessary to begin with. The police are so far over the line of violating peoples’ rights that a federal judge had to command them to stop.
-
Police “we only have 24 hours to hurt innocent people, go go go”
-
Cute of them to think cops give a fuck about following the law
-
File this under “Things that shouldn’t be needed in the United States of America.”
-
This is where we are?
A judge has to issue an order to prevent the police from strong arming the press?
What the absolute fuck!
-
Is this Russia, China or Myanmar? WTF? Why does it take a restraining order against the POLICE to have a free press?
-
Problem is the police don’t follow nor care about the law
-
Those that are supposed to support and uphold law for the citizens wont follow the law. This is broken. there ought to be a decent civics course for wannabe tyrants. er i mean cops.
-
You wouldn’t think that police would need a court order to follow the constitution
-
As a former Minnesotan… Fuck the Minneapolis police!

The national guard killed four protesters at Kent State.
