What are you cheering for, they broke the law and assaulted the police? If you're cheering the open smoking of pot, change the law don't break the law.
If you're cheering the assault on police I hope you need one of these police officers soon so you will get a better appreciation for what they do. There's no sense in cheering people acting like low life thugs.
Police break the law and assault/murder people all the time and walk away from it scot-free and you people cheer it on. Who are you to judge?
I never cheer on any police who break the law, assault and murder people. They get their due process like everyone else.
I'm not saying it doesn't exist, I know it does, but if you are referring to Brown,Garner,Martin cases, they broke the law, resisted arrest and it worked out badly for them. That's the chance they took and they knew it. The other option was to allow themselves to be cuffed and taken in, remain silent and let their lawyer do the talking for them. Had they done that instead of resisting arrest they'd be alive today. I have no sympathy for them.
not everyone gets due process ..
Proceedings in Which Procedural Due Process Need Not Be Observed.—While due notice and a reasonable opportunity to be heard are two fundamental protections found in almost all systems of law established by civilized countries,771 there are certain proceedings in which the enjoyment of these two conditions has not been deemed to be constitutionally necessary. For instance, persons adversely affected by a law cannot challenge its validity on the ground that the legislative body that enacted it gave no notice of proposed legislation, held no hearings at which the person could have presented his arguments, and gave no consideration to particular points of view. "Where a rule of conduct applies to more than a few people it is impracticable that everyone should have a direct voice in its adoption. The Constitution does not require all public acts to be done in town meeting or an assembly of the whole. General statutes within the state power are passed that affect the person or property of individuals, sometimes to the point of ruin, without giving them a chance to be heard. Their rights are protected in the only way that they can be in a complex society, by their power, immediate or remote, over those who make the rule."772
Similarly, when an administrative agency engages in a legislative function, as, for example, when it drafts regulations of general application affecting an unknown number of persons, it need not afford a hearing prior to promulgation.773 On the other hand, if a regulation, sometimes denominated an "order," is of limited application, that is, it affects an identifiable class of persons, the question whether notice and hearing is required and, if so, whether it must precede such action becomes a matter of greater urgency and must be determined by evaluation of the various factors discussed below.774
