Civil rights activists in Florida are issuing travel warnings and tips on how to avoid law enforcement.

I don't think anyone is surprised that American left wing groups are actively undermining American law enforcement....

the "you can't make it up" part ...is a reflection on how sad it it that this is not surprising and almost routine....
