    What’s the age limit when a child is allowed to learn from an adult’s example about peaceful activism

        “If it was peaceful, why did the police show up?”

        “If you were innocent, then why were you arrested?”

        Bad arguments are bad.

        Police violence is something different then peaceful protesting. It turns into non-peaceful as soon as the police starts to use force without a proper cause. It’s called “abuse of power”. Cops love to get violent, especially when the protesters do not (so they won’t hit back).

        Yes, it was completely peaceful as it has been for the past 30 something weeks that these rallies have been held.

        If you’ve ever been to a demonstration you’d understand that all the police do is show up and cause violence. No one needed protecting from us, we walked down a goddamn street. Last time I checked that wasn’t exactly a violent act. But people sure needed protecting from the police…
