If armed police show up to intimidate you into stopping, if not physically intervening to stop you, pretty much any time you have a protest for a non-right wing cause, do you actually have the right to assemble?

spins back time to Kent State

Edit: you’re totally right that it’s only been non right wing riots. UCLA, Kent state, Vietnam war in general, Occupy Wall Street, Rodney King, George Floyd…

Then we have Jan 6th.

Two years ago cops were gassing people so much they ran out of gas and shot journalists in the face and destroyed medical supplies. Don't even need to go back to the 60s.
