Columbus Police discuss use of force during protests. People in central Ohio, continue to protest President Donald Trump’s Cabinet picks and immigration restrictions.
“We defend the right of people to express their First Amendment right,” Columbus Division of Police Chief Kim Jacobs said. “We take an oath to defend the Constitution and we mean that.”
Chief Jacobs stated protesters have to obey the laws. You don't need to have a permit to protest. However, it is illegal to block streets or sidewalks.
“You have absolutely the right to say what you want to say in this country, but you cannot break the law while you’re doing that,” said Jacobs.
