            Approving of violating liberties to combat the violation of liberties is incredibly hypocritical. Your lack of self-awareness is astounding.

              have you ever complained when entering a venue and they checked of you have a ticket? or crossed a border? but now, when this is a necessity to protect your own neighborhood from white supremacy paramilitary troops, now you draw the line.

              do us all a favor and choke on that boot.

              that’s like complaining that a fireman needa a warrant to enter your burning house to save you, but you are ok with police coming in to murder your children without a warrant.

      Nobody’s freedom is being restricted, just slowed down, controlled and managed for community safety. Are traffic lights unconstitutional too?

        I didn’t say anything about the constitution. Nice strawman there tho. Blocking public roads is restricting people’s freedom of movement. Not sure how you can say otherwise with a straight face. You’re preventing people from using the road when you block it. Traffic lights don’t block the road or prevent you from using them. Barriers do. Stop being willfully ignorant.

          They’re “traffic stops.” So they’re presumably letting the people through after. So just like a traffic light or stop sign or sobriety checkpoint. So no, they’re not preventing people from using the road, are they?

            I didn’t say they were preventing people from using the road, I said they were restricting peoples freedom of movement. I don’t view those statements as synonymous.the difference between this and traffic lights/stop signs is the latter doesn’t erect a physical barrier where my freedoms are subject to the whims of a random individual. As consequence, I don’t agree with police checkpoints either as a method of policing.
