Suppression of the Right to Free Assembly

The first amendment's meant,
To protect assembly,
For the purpose of government grievance,
Of the citizenry,

As long as those gatherings are peaceful,
They must be left alone,
So arresting peaceful demonstrators,
Should categorically not be condoned,

Tear gassing and using rubber bullets,
For sure, off the table,
Random arrests by the military,
Signs that law's unstable,
It's suppression,
Not liking the grievance,
Changing the message from people displeased,
To anarchist mobs bent on violence.
