"The 1st Amendment guarantees the right of citizens to assemble peacefully and freedom of speech. We understand these rights. We train about these rights and we will not infringe on those rights... we absolutely understand and agree with all of our rights to peacefully protest, we do not and will not condone rioting, looting, or other criminal acts which we have seen occurring in cities across the country."
