I am sorry, but I have ZERO sympathy for PAID protestors, and it doesn't take a lot of research to verify most of this. Of course, not all are, but the paid ones and firms of that ilk are PAID to stoke the fires and get people to these protests. I also believe that the violence is caused by the abuse herein.
I AM ALL FOR FREE SPEECH AND RIGHT TO PROTEST, however IMO it is being abused, manipulated and if you remove that agitation, maybe you don't have incidents.
As far as what you just posted, non lethal force. I have no sympathy nor do I really care about what happens to these waste of space paid people that are IMO wasting oxygen that could be better used by others.
I do not view the right to peacefully protest as interfering with law enforcement operations which is arguably what a lot of these encounters are. IT is NOT a right to interfere, there is zero protection for that. I view it as certifiable idiocy that is causing incident after incident and the chips are going to fall where they do . FAFO.
