Several videos posted on social media showed a chaotic scene as law enforment officers in helmets and reflective jackets scuffled with shouting protesters, some carrying umbrellas. Many of the protesters appeared to link arms forming a barrier as officers moved in.
Because when it comes to dealing with those opposing the US MIC, we’re already a fascist country. You have the freedom to do many things but this is not one of them. MLK killed after speaking out on Vietnam, Kennedy killed for much the same reasons; Vietnam and mulling changes at the CIA, Boeing whistleblower mysteriously ‘comitting suicide’ your freedom only extends to things that do not oppose the military.
Same with Malcolm X, and Fred Hampton. As soon as any of these men started talking about class unity, the people in charge immediately acted to get rid of them. Really shows how scary class consciousness is to the ruling class.
This source suggests something about a judge not being present for an arraignment, and so they were released with instructions to present again in May. Sounds like they probably haven’t been formally charged with anything. You can be arrested without being charged, usually charges come shortly after an arrest. But they can’t hold you indefinitely with no charge, which is why they were just released with instructions to return on a certain date.
Why does the lawyer not know what the charges are? How were they arrested without being charged?

MLK wasn’t killed because he spoke out against Vietnam.
He was killed because he was abandoning a racial paradigm in favor of a class one. He was building a rainbow coalition.

I get that, but I don’t know why this is even going before a judge if they were arrested without charge. I didn’t think that was legal.

Okay, I didn’t realize that. I thought they had to charge you with something if they arrested you. Thanks.
You can be arrested just because the cop felt like it. They typically have some time span in which to charge you or they have to let you go.
Cops aren’t the ones charging you, that’s the DA.
