(62,325 posts)peaceful despite which the Cops have brutally beaten people consistently since last Fall, nearly killing several peaceful US Citizens and so far, with no consequences.
So one guy out of tens of thousands of people finally got angry enough to throw a bucket and YOU use that to excuse the brutality that has been so bad, the UN even got involved.
I could post footage all day of protests, and you would not see a single protester doing anything other than marching peacefully.
But if I did that, you would see incident after incident of US Citizens being brutalized by the police without me even trying.
Scott Olsen eg, can you excuse was done to him? Or Kayvan Sabeghi? Or the 80 something year old who was nearly killed by brutal cops and saved only by other protesters?
I am in awe of the protesters for remaining peaceful in the face of the outrageous brutality by they police directed at them since the beginning of this movement. That must be very difficult.
Almost all violence at these protests has been caused by the Cops. There is simply zero excuse for it.
