They have never used any of that against peaceful protesters, so your question should be to the judge.Why would they use any of these things against peaceful protesters? Maybe Trump has an answer to that.
The DO USE all of that against rioters, and rightly so.
In Detroit? I don't know. I'd have to do some reading. Trump did though. Maybe the judge was being pro-active based upon past actions.
No, the Obama appointed judge is trying to disarm the police so that there is nothing they can do in the face of the BLM rioters....
The judge didn't say anything about rioters.
No? Did you read the article?
".... against the city of Detroit, accusing police of using excessive force to deter protesters from practicing their free speech rights."
Yes, the right to loot a Nike store? The right to throw bricks at what now are unprotected police? The right to damage property, and assault people?
Pathetic.
You can spin it all you want. She warned the police to NOT violate the rights of peaceful protesters like Trump did.
You miss the point entirely. She ruled against the police to NOT violate the rights of peaceful protestors, but the police have NOT violated the rights of peaceful protesters.
Her ruling gives rioters the upper hand when they decide to stop being peaceful.
The old adage of "it is better to have a gun and not need it than not have a gun when you do need it" is the principle at stake here and the basis of maintaining civil order.
It is much better to have the shields, batons, and deterents and NOT use them, than to take them away from the cops when they DO need to use them.
When a mob starts attacking the cops, burning cars and buildings, lasering the eyes of the police, and tossing bricks and other deadly things at them, they are NOT peaceful protesters.
She didn't say the police couldn't react to acts of violence. That's you jumping to unfounded conclusions.

She didn't say they couldn't have anything. She said that they could not use them against peaceful protesters and based upon the evidence provided her that they had a valid complaint.
Did you not read the article?
I did....however, if you think that removing the equipment needed for riot control, or used to disperse crowds, then say “well, she didn’t say they couldn’t act.” Just how do you expect them to respond?
Yes, she said it can't be used to disperse crowds. Being in a crowd is not illegal. They need to act as per the U.S. Constitution instructs.
