Protestors need to be coached to ask "Am I free to leave? Or is this a violation of posse comitatus?"
How about let's not pretend that Joe Schmuck has any more legal expertise on the subject than the 19-year-old soldier, huh? If you're not in cuffs, yes, ask if you're free to leave. If you are, leave. If you're not, just shut the fuck up until you can call an *actual* lawyer.
