From what I've heard, this is sadly not new behavior for cops when civil unrest occurs. What is most unusual now is the national attention it is getting and that they have been threatening and attacking journalists employed by large corporations and not just the locals

And people wonder why some folks are calling for the cops to be fucking disbanded.

Why should I fear the police more than ne'er-do-wells?

All veterans and retired members will conform with the same standards of appearance, military customs, practices, and conduct in uniform prescribed for active-duty.

Is that a law or a guideline? If the former it's blatantly unconstitutional on 1A grounds.
 
Damn Reverend Sharpton is one sharp person!
He called Attorney Crump the black persons Attorney General! Because as Black people we feel we have no Attorney General!!
 
this is sick. every time mobs of white people have shown up with guns and masks the cops do absolutely nothing.
if the mob is unarmed, asking for constitutional rights to be respected, and has at least one black person, they are completely fucked.

Illegal? A military police officer can come and arrest him and put him in jail?

What a fucking disgrace to the First Amendment.

I'm guessing you're a fan.

I didn't make the rules up. It isn't something new either.

Yes, I am a fan. A military uniform shouldn't be used as a prop.

lol, the US military is one of the biggest propaganda industries in the world (for the record, I'm not passing a value judgment on that here). Not use the uniform as a prop? LOL, your lack of self-awareness never ceases to impress.

The military uniform is used as a prop all day long, every single day. You just don't like it used in a way you don't agree with.

Actually the UCMJ defines the rules. There are correct ways and incorrect ways to wear the uniform. You probably think the "stolen valor" laws are wrong also.

You are obviously unfamiliar with the military and the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

Specifically, the portion enjoining veterans to all the same speech restrictions as active duty personnel is in part grossly unconstitutional. I don't think that has made its way up the courts, at least not in recent memory, and I doubt the military wants to test it. I know that they went after some people who were protesting the Iraq war in uniform, I believe without very much success, but those were reservists. I'm not aware of the military going after any non-active duty, non-reservists who protested the Iraq war in uniform.
