Police Response to Anti-ICE Protest on Kentucky Bridge Delivered Unhappy Moments for Activists – RedState
We have seen police in blue cities adopt a limited / very cautious approach to anti-ice activists. Often, they do not undergo any consequences on the actions in which they could be involved.
In liberal areas, it is not always clear that even if people are arrested, they will face real accusations. And cities do not always act to check such actions. In Portland, for example, things have become uncontrollable that a resident continued the city to enforce noise prescriptions, so that residents can sleep. She just wanted the city to do something so that she could have peace.

But on Thursday, the Covington Police, Kentucky, did not remember responding to anti-glasses while they were moving from Ohio to their city and their condition on a bridge.
The Covington Police Department responded to the demonstration on the Roebling suspension bridge, which said it was “obstructed traffic and created security problems for demonstrators and the public”. To avoid traffic disruptions, the police asked demonstrators to leave the bridge and move to the sidewalk, but according to the police, the police were greeted by “open hostility and threatening behavior”.
It was at this point that things deteriorated and that activists had major unhappy moments on the bridge.

You can hear demonstrators screaming their heads while a man and a woman are taken to the ground by the police. The man has been struck several times.
They received questions about media action. Covington police chief Brian Valenti defended the use of force, alleging that the man had struck a pepper -ball pistol of an officer and kept the bridge balustrade. You also see a video of what they said to be a SUV blocked on the bridge. He said they were told, repeatedly, to leave the road.
“So this is a very dangerous and precarious situation.”

He said the situation on the bridge was dangerous and that they would examine more video on the issue.
The arrested people were faced with a variety of accusations.
At least 13 demonstrators were arrested during an anti-ice event on Thursday evening which led to a walk on the Ohio River bridge connecting Covington and Cincinnati. The Covington Police Service charged demonstrators of riots, illegal assembly, disorderly conduct and other charges of offense. [….]
The accusations of re -eminence for demonstrators are considered a crime, with typical sentences of up to five years in prison.
It is probably a little different in the pursuit of the case that it would not be in Portland.
