Albuquerque Claims There is No Right to Assembly

Two-dozen taxpayers in Albuquerque, NM organized a protest last night in response to recent police brutality. The Guardian reports that 25 people have been shot dead by police in the southwestern U.S. city since 2010.

Thirteen of the taxpayers were arrested at the mayor's office and charged with "unlawful assembly" and "trespassing".    

The arresting officers made clear that they must grant their subjects the "privilege" to assemble.  In Albuquerque there is no "right" to assemble.
