mass-blocking federal highways is a criminal offense. pretty sure in most cases police/SWAT can simply use crowd dispersal weapons such as microwave guns/sound blasters to clear it out without killing anyone. |

But this bill seems to ambiguously allow police to use lethal force when dispersing crowds. I don't think unleashing Kent State on crowds of unarmed protesters should be legal. |
