We need to let Obama know that we have the right to stand to protest and that we don't need the threat of law enforcement increased because of the neglectful acts of others on our account. Let our leaders know that they shouldn't fear us and that we as a collective people can't always account for everyones actions. But by being examples through peaceful protesting, we should be given a chance to correct our wrongs instead of increasing the heat on the street behind badges at such events.
Why is this important?
I am making this petition because I believe it is morally and tactically unwise for the government increase the suspicions of the people it is meant to protect and serve. If the government you has nothing to hide, it has no reason to fear its citizens. We only want truth. Is that something the government should have to defend itself against? The greatest law is - Love thy God. The second is Love thy neighbor. Are we not all each other's brothers keepers to atone and answer for each other, to help each other up? Preventing protests near government buildings, is not helpful and after recent events at Ferguson and other places, this only will inspire hostility in the people toward government authority. Please hear me out. God bless you all.
