Important for people to know:

When Police declare a RIOT protesters lose their rights to “protest.” Those who stay and actively take part, no matter how “peaceful” some may be, are engaging in criminal behavior.

Under 18 U.S. Code 2101—Riots

(a) Whoever travels in interstate or foreign commerce or uses any facility of interstate or foreign commerce, including, but not limited to, the mail, telegraph, telephone, radio, or television, with intent—

(1) to incite a riot; or

(2) to organize, promote, encourage, participate in, or carry on a riot; or

(3) to commit any act of violence in furtherance of a riot; or

(4) to aid or abet any person in inciting or participating in or carrying on a riot or committing any act of violence in furtherance of a riot;
and who either during the course of any such travel or use or thereafter performs or attempts to perform any other act for any purpose

Shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

When “peaceful protesters” fail to disperse after a riot is declared, they are engaging in criminal behavior.
