taken from a comment on the protests in Denver

[curmugeon]

There are a few people who are following the protests that have a good grasp of the law...

Hence...

In a Title 42 USC 1983 it is not necessary to allege or prove that the defendants (Government) intended to deprive plaintiff (Citizens) of their Constitutional rights or that they acted willfully, purposely, or in pursuance of a conspiracy (Constructive Fraud).It is sufficient to establish that the deprivation of constitutional rights or privileges was the natural consequences of the actions of the defendants acting under the color of law, irrespective of the actions whether such consequences was intended. Ury v. Santee (1969 DC Ill.)

It is very clear that police in several locations have been violating the Constitutional rights of the protesters. Someday we will see justice... someday.
