Wag that dog.Can you account for excessive and unnecessary use of force by the police? Can you account for minor acts of violence met by overwhelming police force? Is it possible that the authorities don't always act with restraint? Is it possible that the police are not infallible?This supposes that the protest is in a small, restrained area of town, not a March blocks long? This also indicts the students at Kent State University fifty years ago.
You're obfuscating.
When the police are being violently attacked by members of your protest... and you remain after being asked to disperse...you are a party to the violence.
If the police then use force to disperse violent protests and you are injured... it's nobody's fault but your own. If you're a peaceful protester...you don't want to be involved with the crazies. Go home, come back tomorrow and peacefully protest some more.
IMO the police can and should defend themselves, defend the community and defend property from a violent riotous mob.
