8. "Shut up and vote!"

Sorry but people can protest when they damn well please and register to vote.

1st they tell people to protest in the daytime

2nd they'll tell people to keep moving and don't stop at any time

3rd they'll say no cameras or media because the videos could incite violence

4th they'll conduct door to door searches

5th they'll tell people that they can only voice their opinions in designated areas "for their own safety" and everyone will be kettled off to churches

With that said, the NYC, Oakland and Los Angeles are true blue areas but the police are EXTREMELY aggressive. When it comes to police abuse and violations of people's civil rights we need a lot more than just voting (although it is a start).

...IMO
