    You’ve been led to believe this by a media narrative. The protests are not violent. The policing is violent, but the protests are not.

        And that “certain level” is very low. The media narrative is trying to make it seem much higher than it is. They largely omit the speeches, the chanting, the dancing, and the standing around. They minimize the extraordinarily violent response.

        Even if there was a certain level of violence occurring and it was not caused by the completely disproportional response of the LAPD, would that make the protest invalid? Because that’s what they are trying to make you think. That want it to be impossible to protest, which we are supposed to have a right to do in this country.

            It does matter. It’s the only thing that matters. The entire point is demonizing protests so they can sick their jackbooted thugs on them.

            This isn’t happening in a vacuum.
