The mass street demonstrations that followed the 2020 police murder
of George Floyd were perhaps the largest in American history. These
events confirmed that even in a digital era, people rely on public
dissent to communicate grievances, change public discourse, and
stand in collective solidarity with others. However, the
demonstrations also showed that the laws surrounding public protest
make public contention more dangerous, more costly, and less
effective. Police fired tear gas into peaceful crowds, used
physical force against compliant demonstrators, imposed broad
curfews, limited the places where protesters could assemble, and
abused 'unlawful assembly' and other public disorder laws. These
and other pathologies epitomize a system in which public protest is
tightly constrained in the name of public order. Managed Dissent
argues that in order to preserve the venerable tradition of public
protest in the US, we must reform several aspects of the law of
public protest.
