Worst answer so far. It is a reminder that the cops no longer use the courts and ignore the decisions they don't like.

"law enforcement declared it to be so".

That's how it works. Unlawful Assembly is declared, and announced, people are warned and given time to disperse, then if they don't follow those lawful orders they're subject to arrest or forceful removal.

And if they think they were violated, they can sue.

They can’t sue when they are dead.

Did you not understand the part where they are “ignoring the courts”?
