In reply to the discussion: Trump administration proposes tough rules on protests [View all]BigmanPigman
(54,471 posts)12. I have been to over 20
and the only violence I saw was from tRump supporters at the wall prototypes and at an impeachment rally. Both times the sheriffs allowed the violent people to taunt and try to instigate violence (the Nazi group the Proud Boys). At the wall protest the police, sheriffs and SWAT team all stood in rows facing us, the peaceful protesters while the trumpets were yelling the most vile things through bullhorns from across the street. I DO NOT TRUST THE SHERIFFS at these protests.

It's our 1st Amendment right to protest. I've been to many anti-trump protests over the last 2 years

Exactly. And your feeling of distrust for the sheriffs is valid as may of them are Trumpians. nt
