Why is this battle being fought again, when Amy and Cassandra already fought it and won?
What's the point of spending time, effort, and money to get police to stop interferring with protesters' rights when even if you win - after months of legal battle - as soon as we're back on the street again the cops pull some other twisted interpretation of an obscure law out of their hats and continue shutting us down and the whole process starts all over again?
Unless you can win some punishment for the specific police or department involved, they have no incentive to stop, and every reason to keep shutting you down, and tieing you up in court.
There has to be a better way. I thought Amy and Cassandra got this settled for us, but here we are back to square one again.

THE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK.
