1. Protests, especially those of the left, are treated like this as a matter of course.

Right wing protests, like the two ridiculous Bundy ones, numerous TP ones and now the Trump neo-Nazi ones are looked at with a wink and a smile by the establishment and by law enforcement. After all, any right wing movement can be co-opted by the oligarchs and used to further exploit workers.

Left wing protests on the other hand usually have the objective of expanding rights, making lives better, supporting the environment - things the capitalist parasites feel will cost them profits. Therefore, these protests are put down promptly, severely and with lots of nice left wing blood flowing through the gutters.

That's why this political revolution one of the Dem candidates is proposing is so appealing. The only thing the oligarchs who create and maintain the 'establishment' are scared of is...

we the people.
