Is there anything about private citizens from other states arming themselves and killing protestors? How about running protestors over? Occupying government buildings?I'm guessing the laws were aimed at only one side.In addition, too bad that these laws weren’t in place throughout the US in 2020 were being burnt and looted. It also didn’t help when leaders and celebrities were funding the bail for perpetrators who had been arrested. By January 6, precedent had been set. Florida is taking lead to prevent any such riots from any side.
yea.... all that rioting, burning, looting, murdering. Such a bad step to try and reduce that. How the hell can it be one sided? What does that side look like? Does the “other side” get a pass???
Except your link said the law has an "appeal process when cities and counties attempt to reduce police budgets".You addressed the first part but the bill would prevent localities from reducing police budgets, meaning the State is mandating how locals use tax revenue. Sounds like government overreach to me and I'd think conservatives would object.
Except it says nothing about that in the law. A city can spend whatever they want on their police and the state won't do anything about it. If their force is too small to handle the situation, like I said, state police or the national guard may move in.

If protestors decide to threaten private citizens or try to pull them out of their cars and beat or kill them as we saw in 2020, then private citizens can use any means to evade the threat or defend themselves.Is there anything about private citizens from other states arming themselves and killing protestors?
