Martial Law: Homeland Security/New Orleans Police Suspend the 1st and 2nd Amendment (Video)
Guns will be banned and streets around Lee Circle closed Sunday at mid-day (May 7) for demonstrations around the pending removal of three Confederate monuments in New Orleans, Police Superintendent Michael Harrison said. Authorities will be keeping a close eye on Lee Circle, Congo Square and the Jefferson Davis monument because large crowds are expected and some people have made “credible threats” to public safety.
At a news conference Saturday night, Harrison said officers will be out “in force” to monitor the protests. He said Lee Circle and one block of every street intersecting it will be closed to traffic. Service on the St. Charles Avenue streetcar line, which loops around the circle, will be suspended at about 11 a.m. “for a certain time,” he said. He advised motorists to avoid the area.
“We certainly respect everyone’s right to assemble and to protest peacefully,” Harrison said. “However, we will not tolerate violence, and we will not tolerate threats.”
