There clearly is a pattern here. Peaceful protesters. Usually not even past curfew. Then sudden, not even gradual police violence hurled at them. Are we just shredding the Constitution and pretending it never existed? inquirer.com/news/philadelph…

I'm beginning to think it's planned to terrorize ppl bc that's a complete shock to the system. Reminds me of brainwashing and torture techiques.

So many of the protests that remain peaceful are those where the police officers join the protestors. It's surprising that the other police officers are not learning the simple lesson of listening and connecting first.

Yes. That is exactly what they are doing.

Police are human beings NOT robots. Police have been abused by protesters and their government officials. Since you're implying that you can do better job get out there and maintain law and order yourself.

Speech rules when violence is outlawed. Violence rules when speech is outlawed. It's a slippery slope to repeating the Tiananmen Square Massacre in America.
We are on our way for The Troubles Marianne. Quickly.
I cant stress this enough, if you arent out protesting dig in to history of peaceful protests that turned bloody by state sanctioned violence. There will never be perfect comparisons but between Northern Ireland and other places we have examples. amp.theguardian.com/politics…

At the end of the day the constitution is ink on paper, it has only the power we give it.
