It is important for a number of reasons. Whether it lives up to them is another thing.

You're trying to win a fight you won't. The reg is simple. In 7-22, accountability formation is not described. Now an extended rectangular formation is utilized during PRT.

• Putting a protestor in an improvised holding cell for 4 hours while they are processed and then released. Stop drawing on Nazi Germanys digusting tactics to play into feelings rather than facts. Federal intervention at the military level is the only way to avoid a massacre. I, as a National Guardsman, am on the side of the police in this instance.

It is not the first Mesopotamian law code. It has three forerunners with the same prologue-laws-epilogue format. The Reforms of Urukagina (ca 2400 BCE), the code of Ur-Namma (ca 2100 BCE), and the law code of Lipit-Ishtar of Isin (ca 1950 BCE) all predate it. So it is not significant for its originality, but perhaps for its political statement.

With almost 300 laws it is the longest of the Mesopotamian law codes of the time. The format of these laws are typically conditional statements, a protasis (if-clause), alongside an apodosis, (then-clause). It covers a large array of topics, from basic crime like theft, to contract law, or domestic matters. In scope it covers a large area, so is very useful for historians in revealing how the Babylonians thought about the various parts of life and what kinds of behaviour were expected or frowned upon. It describes some very specific situations. Here are some examples:

If a man buy/from an officer the cattle or sheep which the king has given to that officer, he shall forfeit his money.

If, when he goes on a journey, an enemy rob him of whatever he was carrying, the agent shall take an oath in the name of god and go free.

If a man point the finger at a priestess or the wife of another and cannot justify it, they shall drag that man before the judges and they shall brand his forehead.

If a man take a wife and she become afflicted with disease, and if he set his face to take another, he may. His wife, who is afflicted with disease, he shall not put away. She shall remain in the house which he has built and he shall maintain her as long as she lives.

In terms of legal importance, it is considered something akin to a constitution. I would probably disagree on this point. It fails to set out any fundamental principles for the Babylonian empire, rather just dealing with extremely specific examples, much like case law. It does have some fairly developed legal principles, putting burden of proof on the accuser and requiring evidence in order to convict someone of a crime:

If a man bring an accusation against a man, and charge him with a (capital) crime, but cannot prove it, he, the accuser, shall be put to death.

However, the laws are mostly an act of propaganda, displaying the power of Hammurabi, who had recently carved out an empire in Mesopotamia. This itself is illuminating, extremely important in understanding the Old Babylonian empire, systems of power, and the political situation faced by Hammurabi. Yoffee has argued that the application of law was a political act design to assert power over disparate polities within the empire. It was meant to standardise, (Yoffee uses simplify), the various different local laws under a single authority. The laws themselves, if you read them, look more like legal judgments than legislation. The epilogue really reveals the document's primary purpose is the glorification of Hammurabi:

The great gods proclaimed me and I am the guardian governor, whose scepter is righteous and whose beneficent protection is spread over my city. In my bosom I carried the people of the land of Sumer and Akkad; under my protection I brought their brethren into security; in my wisdom I restrained (hid) them; that the strong might not oppose the weak, and that they should give justice to the orphan and the widow, in Babylon, the city whose turrets Anu and Bel raised.

Nevertheless, it is extremely important in understanding the political, social and religious climate, as well as the normative and moral landscapes of the early 2nd millennium Babylonian empire.

Any questions about the treatment of protestors are completely separate from whether or not construction should move forward.

Negative. The DAPL and the Governor's coalition are out of control and will end up massacring the tribal coalition without a halt in construction and an actual negotiation with the tribe. The tribes biggest issue here is that DAPL started building on sacred burial ground without ever consulting with the Sioux. If this were a civil war burial ground, the entire nation would be up in arms and the Sioux is a sovereign nation that IS up in arms and unless NDAP voluntarily ceases and comes to the table, they will likely take up arms. They are fighting for their ancestors, for their cultural heritage, and the US has already historically trampled on them at every turn. This would be a fight worth dying for, for many of us. It shouldn't be that hard to imagine that it is for them as well. Concessions have to be made, and as DAPL is the entity in the wrong here, it should be them.

Neither side will back down. The Governor already fucked his state budget by being a bigot and chasing away 90% of the entertainment industry from his state, now he is trying to recoup those funds by using the police and NG as the muscle for NDAP. Military intervention is the only thing that will prevent bloodshed.
