There was no emergency, just a huge annoyance that could have been cleared without dictatorial powers.
Using the phrase "dictatorial powers" to describe a bill explicitly designed to balance rights and forward action is incindiary language.
I have yet to hear a plausible explanation for why this was.
I am very uncomfortable with the idea that the police declining to do their job is sufficient to emergency powers.
There should be proportionate responses to illegal behavior. Not even attempting to regulate illegal behavior with the appropriate government response should not be a justification for more severe government response.
