Look, my state is shitty even without Pence!

https://iga.in.gov/legislative/2017/bills/senate/285#document-79282dd2

A responsible public official shall, not later than fifteen
(15) minutes after first learning that a mass traffic obstruction
exists in the official’s jurisdiction, dispatch all available law
enforcement officers to the mass traffic obstruction with directions
to use any means necessary to clear the roads of the persons
unlawfully obstructing vehicular traffic

Yeah, that’s a bill to let local law enforcement have free reign over protesters that may be blocking traffic! It literally uses the phrase “by any means necessary”!

Surely that won’t be used if traffic slows down near protesters or a rally near a road to violently disperse them. Surely not!
