    I was at a peaceful rally a week ago, police showed up and acted as intimidating as possible. We stood around and listened to some very powerful speeches from Palestinians, the police left momentarily so that they could come and assualt the crowd from the side.

    They pepper sprayed children. Fuck every cop who ever did their job.

        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.

            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…
