Note that the violence, as usual, is almost entirely on the part of the cops

    The VAST majority is peaceful. Many are throwing rocks. A few are taking even further.

    I get that they’re pissed, but this isn’t the solution. Refusing to walk into a trap isn’t cowardice, it’s strategy.

      You watched and learned nothing, resistance isn’t a trap and your passivity won’t save you

        I never said resistance was a trap. I said violent resistance was. Violence will hand Trump his Reichstag Fire on a silver platter.

          Nonviolent “resistance” is worthless, idk what part of “they will make shit up anyway” you’re not understanding

            Trump is itching to enact the Insurrection Act. That will make growing our numbers far more difficult. Meanwhile, you’re advocating losing resisters to incarceration, scaring people back into their homes due to unsafe protest conditions, while giving Trump the justification he needs to strip our rights.

            Do you always think with your feelings? You should try your brain. Logic and strategy know no cowardice. They only know how to outthink the opposition.
