From Yahoo News:
A man was gravely wounded in a gun battle with police in Ferguson, Missouri on Sunday night after a day of peaceful rallies to mark the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager by a white officer one year ago. Several volleys of gunshots rang out as police in riot gear tried to disperse demonstrators blocking traffic and smashing storefront windows along a street that was a flashpoint of last year's unrest in the St. Louis suburb after Michael Brown, 18, was slain. Police later said the gunfire began with two groups of agitators apparently shooting at each other.

Anniversary commemorations had begun hours earlier with a peaceful march through the St. Louis suburb. The scene changed dramatically after dark. Dozens of protesters converged on West Florissant Avenue, which bore the brunt of last summer's rioting, and chanted: "Shut it down" in the midst of a severe thunderstorm.

That's a very good question to ask. Unfortunately, it really depends on what the order is,the context and where you are. There are things that are illegal, but of little consequence to anybody and so are probably not worth the risk. Then are things that are very illegal and might be worth dieing for. Refusing to stop videotaping an arrest might well be worth whatever the consequences are especially if you suspect that there's something fishy going on.
The big thing though is to to know what your rights are so you know if you have to do it.
Unfortunately, lawful or unlawful, you'll probably be arrested for disobeying or possibly obstruction. But, ultimately it's going to come down to your own judgment over what you're willing to risk by saying no. And the specific rights are going to vary from state to state and country to country, so it's going to be best to find a local source of where the line is located.

Apartheid and the Holocaust were "Lawful."
You're betting on the pantomime horse...

How is this troll? This is a valid response, and I believe even serves to highlight what Francis may or may not have been driving at. Not all responses to comments need to be interpreted as adversarial.
