Snelling to DNC protesters: First Amendment doesn’t protect lawlessness – FOX32 (Chicago)

Chicago Police Superintendent Larry Snelling said, "First Amendment protection is only there if you’re not committing a crime. You can be acting out peacefully and still breaking the law. If you sit in a roadway, or you’re blocking a venue, or private property and you refuse to leave, those are crimes."

It would be much more meaningful if the Superintendent actually believed in policing. Sadly there isn’t much of that happening in Chicago these days. It’s why the thugs and gangbangers run wild. You know, like little Al Capones.

Snelling magically rose from being a lifelong fitness instructor at the police academy to police superintendent. Like David Brown, he is in way over his head and will be beating it out of town ten minutes after Brandon is defeated in the next election.
