It concerns the "keep moving" rule that drastically limits the ability of people to participate in protests, as well as giving cops an excuse to swoop in and arrest people for stopping for a few seconds to rest or pray, and to arrest both protesters and journalists if they stop to take pictures or to do a brief interview. It strikes me as an serious violation of our First Amendment rights to assemble, to petition the government for redress, and to freely express ourselves without government interference.

It also clearly inhibits the press's First Amendment rights.
