What a joke.  First we can see what happens following Obama's guidelines...the crime rate goes up. What we see going on in the mainland, and what the ACLU seems to support is not protests, they are riots.  The first amendment does not protect the destruction of property. And if 100 people are damaging property the ACLU doesn't want mass arrests, so arrest 3 people and let 97 go.  The ACLU is a organization made up of liberals Whose matto is "it's alright for us but not for you.  ACLU defended the homeless against the police in Las Vegas untill the homeless moved into their doorway, then they demanded removal. Or Rosie O'donnell's campaign against all guns, except the one carried by her son's bodyguard. The ACLU knows as much about policing as the City and State knows how to cut the budget or build something on time and under budget.
