legit question: why is protesting at night so important?

Whether we would have had the same response or not is a fun sociological question.

One where I think we all know the answer because the reaction is well beyond community vs cop.

It in no way diminishes the philosophical basis for protesting the denial of civil rights by state actors.

Fair enough and if such protest extended to solely the protest of the denial of civil rights by the cops (and maybe I am asking too much but actually was done after the facts were known to support such a significant claim), then I would be in your parlor on this.

But it is well beyond that and the facts are far from clear in justifying the conclusion and demands.

So again, even if we find scenarios with philosophical justification, this week is not 'it' terms of both scope and fact.

I'm more referring to the State of Emergency..

quote:

---

This means that the government can suspend and/or change some functions of the executive, the legislative and or the judiciary during this period of time. It alerts citizens to change their normal behaviour and orders government agencies to implement emergency plans. A government can declare a state of emergency during a time of natural or man-made disaster, during a period of civil unrest, or following a declaration of war or situation of international/internal armed conflict. Justitium is its equivalent in Roman law.

It can also be used as a rationale for suspending rights and freedoms, even if those rights and freedoms are guaranteed under the Constitution. Under the protocol of the ICCPR, rights and freedoms may be suspended during a state of emergency, for example, a government can detain citizens and hold them without trial. All rights that can be derogated from are listed in the International Covenant for Civil and Political Rights. Some sources argue that non-derogable rights cannot be suspended. However this theory is contested. Emergency law does and can override non-derogatory rights during a state of emergency.

Jay Nixon was a DA, then Attorney General before becoming governor. I can't imagine he would take any steps he wasn't sure were legally supportable.

He brought in State police before declaring an emergency which was technically (I believe) illegal.
