Very astute BigPaul! China and North Korea have proven that many times.

Troopers remove items from protest area at Legislative Plaza; demonstrators remain
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Tennessee Highway Patrol troopers removed all of demonstrators' gathered and donated supplies from the protest area at Legislative Plaza.
Witnesses say THP troopers left their post near the steps immediately in front of Charlotte Avenue, which protestors took as an invitation to move closer to the barricade in front of the Capitol.
When troopers asked protesters to return across the street, protesters reportedly hesitated but did reluctantly retreat across the street. Around lunch, a large truck arrived and troopers began removing everything from the area including personal belongings.
Demonstrators said one person was treated for injuries as they struggled to get their belongings back. THP officials say an allegation that a Trooper assaulted three protesters is false.
After everything was taken, word spread on social media, prompting other demonstrators and activists to bring even more supplies than there was before. Organizer Justin Jones said if anything, the incident has reenergized their movement and they have no plans on moving.
Tennessee Highway Patrol officials released the following statement explaining why they removed all the items.
"The Tennessee Highway Patrol has worked diligently to allow protesters to exercise their first amendment rights while following Tennessee law these past couple of weeks. On the evening of June 16, General Services Deputy Commissioner John Hull informed the protestors of TCA 39-14-414. The protestors were at Legislative Plaza, where tents and other camping materials are not permitted.
THP recently negotiated an agreement with the leadership of the protest group. Yesterday an agreement was made for the protesters to peacefully protest with two tents (to protect them from the elements) on the Legislative Plaza. Overnight the protesters violated the agreement and moved in several additional tents and tarps along with countless other items into the Plaza. This morning troopers informed the protesters that they were violating TCA 39-14-414. Troopers informed the protesters to remove their belongings, which they did. The group later set the tents back up and brought more tents and tarps into the Legislative Plaza. This evening troopers once again addressed the protesters and read them the TCA 39-14-414 and then removed the unauthorized items. The items consisted of wood pallet signs, tarps, tents, sleeping bags, chairs and bags of clothing. No citations were issued and no one was arrested."
According to state law, the following items are considered to be in violation of the law:
"Any items associated with camping in violation of this section, including tents, portable toilets, sleeping bags, tarps, stakes, ropes, blankets, propane heaters, cooking equipment and generators, shall be subject to seizure and forfeiture by the appropriate state officials authorized to maintain and protect the land on which the camping equipment is found or other officials whose duties include enforcement of this section."
The Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security also released a statement on Tuesday's incident.

Today, an allegation was made that a Trooper assaulted three protestors on Legislative Plaza. That allegation is false and is completely fabricated to fit the narrative of the protestors. Our troopers have performed admirably throughout the entirety of the protest events and have conducted themselves as true professionals while subjected to verbal abuse and completely unreasonable conduct such as threats to our Troopers’ families. Our Troopers are paid and are expected to endure the verbal abuse perpetrated by the protestors, however the conduct of the protestors today crossed the line and is in no way peaceful.
The Tennessee Highway Patrol supports the rights of every citizen to protest and exercise their constitutional rights peacefully. The illegal actions perpetrated by a few will be recognized and dealt with accordingly.
Tuesday marks the eleventh day protesters have been at Legislative Plaza. They say they want either an audience with the governor to talk about police brutality or the removal of the Nathan Bedford Forrest bust from the Capitol. If neither of those demands is met, they say they will not leave.

Thanks for the update DD. I was wondering how it was going there. Sounds like they aren’t being permitted to destroy public property.

I was leery of this governor at first and felt that his address of the virus was way late. That being said on the issue of the protestors trying to establish an autonomous zone at Legislative Square he has really held firm. He refuses to even consider defunding the police and will not even discuss it with them. He has also not allowed them to establish an autonomous zone and has reacted very early to prevent that from happening. He will allow peaceful protest and freedom of speech. They have prosecuted those arrested and damaging property. Tennessee is much different from Seattle and I think the residents of Tennessee will tolerate just so much. Now Memphis is a different animal.
LOL you got that right! Those people are C R A Z Y!

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. — President Donald Trump’s plans to kick off Independence Day with a showy display at Mount Rushmore are drawing sharp criticism from Native Americans who view the monument as a desecration of land violently stolen from them and used to pay homage to leaders hostile to native people.
Several groups led by Native American activists are planning protests for Trump’s July 3 visit, part of Trump's “comeback” campaign for a nation reeling from sickness, unemployment and, recently, social unrest. The event is slated to include fighter jets thundering over the 79-year-old stone monument in South Dakota's Black Hills and the first fireworks display at the site since 2009.
But it comes amid a national reckoning over racism and a reconsideration of the symbolism of monuments around the globe. Many Native Americans activists say the Rushmore memorial is as reprehensible as the many Confederate monuments being toppled around the nation.
