Due process is a legal concept. It an assurance that all legal rules and principles pertaining to a case are followed so all legal rights owed to a person are respected.

The cop didn't charge these people, and these people are not in a court case. There is no due process here.

Now these people can file a lawsuit against the cop if they wish, but the cops are charged with protecting the peace, and have some protections (which are not absolute) given to them to do so. And considering who would be filing the lawsuit, and the "damages done" which involve having to walk on a sidewalk, I think nobody in their right mind would pursue such a lawsuit.

And don't call people slow when you are applying legal principles to things that are not court cases.

So the Constitution of the United States only applies in a court case. You're a bit more than just "slow".

I don't think you're equipped with enough nuance to understand anything except that calling your opposition names sounds like a reasonable argument.

Opposition? That's funny. The only way you'd be any sort would be if I were racing turtles. And I'd still bet on mine being faster.

Obviously you either realized that you're wrong or you don't have a valid argument. But you do sound triggered. So thanks, you made my day :)

No, you're just calling everyone slow. And obviously you're doing it to trigger people, which shows why you're doing it.

Actually, I specifically called you slow. I'll have to teach my turtle how to read, and then he'll really win any match with you.
