New Army Manual Calls for the Use of Lethal Force Against Peaceful Protesters - Freedom Outpost: The new Army manual, known as ATP 3-39.33, provides discussion and techniques about civil disturbances and crowd control operations that occur in the continental United States (CONUS) and outside the continental United States (OCONUS).
This document, just published this past Friday, August 15, 2014, promises to change the way the "authorities" deal with protesters, even peaceful ones. The consequences of ATP 39.33 could prove deadly for protesters. Further, the provisions of this Army manual could prove to be the end of the First Amendment right to assemble peaceably.
In section 1-2., the manual states that "Civil unrest may range from simple, nonviolent protests that address specific issues, to events that turn into full-scale riots." This section of the manual clearly states that protesting is a right protected by the Constitution.
