My option in life is not get out and protest or not.
That’s actually a driver of why I get pissed at these protesters. Its like in their mind the only option they have is protest regardless of outcomes. They have no consideration for consquences and demand everyone accept that what they do is a necessity. They can’t fathom that what they are doing is hurting and driving progress on issues backwards. Like you’re doing here, they will draw these hard lines of believe vs non believers.
I would put good money on the fact that many protests are driven groups paid for by entities that are being protested.
actually I know of one recently. The Loblaws boycott in Canada is a pretty good example right now of what I think is good civil action. People are building a community and inviting everyone in to participate. No one is Guilting others. But what happened is flyers started to appear saying “steal from loblaws”. The main boycott groups rejected this and pointed out this was likely pro loblaw groups trying to get the general public to sway against the boycott. It is easily believable that many people online would have taken the bait if the loblaw boycott groups did not keep a level head. Unlike many other groups like the r/fuckcars sub reddit that encouraged people to go around town deflating tires of random people or other protesters that convince people to go block highways with just their own body during morning commute.
No I don’t claim that I can do better and that I don’t organize people to show up because I would get them arrested and harm whatever cause I decided to drag people out to. That’s the point I am making. If you’re dragging people out you have their trust and if you’re plan is drag them out, get their heads kicked, arrested and charged in the hopes that maybe people notice then it is cruel and immoral and people should do better.
Like what are you saying though. Should every person who talks about police brutality go become a cop and if they do not then they are a coward? How do you resolve that statement?
Why am I a coward?

You claim you can get out there and do better but won’t.
You are a coward.
