what would be the point of said protest???
The point of petition/protest is to seek redress of grievance of government... not harassing fellow citizens.

No - you have it twisted. A lot of us have been screaming about this for decades now.
There IS NO 'freedom' in the constitution to allow a radical bunch of misfits to create public nuisances, hinder others in their own pursuit of happiness, and interfere with lawful operations of police.

You have the right to assemble peacefully. Quietly lawfully without trampling every one else's rights.
You can scream all you want and say what ever you want (except fig, hard “r”, and a handful of other super words that have the power to bring the world to an end), March, bang drums, whatever.
You can’t physically impede law enforcement, can’t threaten others safety etc.

The point of protest doesn’t just apply to a grievance against the government… you can a protest of a private entity on publicly accessible land… protest by their nature will harass(inconvenience) some citizens

So chanting "frick Joe Biden" was not protected by the 1A?

I was astonished that MN officials allowed that to happen - but then I had no idea about how stupid Walz was.

I musta missed that in the BoR.
Again, the misinterpretation and misuse of the 1A since the 60s is over the top.

“No screaming obscenities”
But that pesky 1A, though
Take it up with Minnesota. Screaming obscenities is not protected speech according to them.

Limits On Your Free Speech Protest Rights
??The First Amendment does not protect free speech if it
violates laws such as trespassing, disobeying or interfering
with a lawful order by a law enforcement officer.
??Inflammatory speakers can’t be punished for arousing an
audience, but can be arrested for incitement by advocating
imminent violence or provoking people to violate the law.
??While you have a right to hold signs, certain restrictions
apply. In St. Paul, there are size restrictions on the wood,
metal or other materials you can attach to your sign.
??False statements about public officials and obscene speech
are unprotected.
??In Minneapolis and St. Paul, excessive or disturbing noise
is considered a public nuisance. St. Paul restricts the use of
sound amplification equipment at levels exceeding federal,
state or city limits. However, they also have a process for
obtaining a variance.

So you believe your right to protest trumps the rights of other citizens?

Yeah your interpretation and application of 1A seems limited

What if you are standing there and federal agents move in on you and start beating you? Have you done anything wrong?

You sure did. You shouldn't have been praying in front of that abortion clinic.

No in theory… when applied practically yes… it’s the same argument with ICE… that’s why I use the word “inconvenience”… does ICE have the right to inconvenience a American citizen by asking him/her to prove citizenship… if argued in theory the answer is no of course… but practically how can this be avoided

You most certainly have a right to protest,
No, no you don’t. You’re constitutionally guaranteed the right to petition your township, city, county, or state for a designated time and place at their discretion for you to peacefully assemble and air your differences.
Showing up and “protesting” cause your feelings are upset or you disagree with something is civil disobedience and against the law in all 50 states. The U.S. Constitution does not guarantee your right to act like a disgruntled child, it holds you to a higher standard, like an adult in a civilized society.

Standing where? In the road, blocking traffic? Does “standing there” include accosting a police officer and then resisting arrest?

This is in no way comparable to roadways being blockaded, hotels and their patrons being harassed, people being stalked or screamed at, cars being stopped because they "look like ice", etc...
Blocking ingress or egress is wrong. Verbally harassing is wrong. Infringing on other's rights to freedom of movement is wrong.
