I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn’t freestyle jazz.
Hold strong!

I love Americas commitment to free speech and the right to protest until it becomes inconvenient
It’s inconvenient to the people in charge
I’d argue effective protest should be met with resistance. How else would it be civil disobedience if you werent disobeying anyone?
Think of Charlottesville. Now that was not a protest where I appreciated the message but can you name any of the 1000 white nationalist marches since?
The difference being the counter protests brought more attention to the movement.
Think of the pussy hat protests.
Huge protests but pretty unremarkable in retrospect. Yes they followed the rules and got permitting etc. etc. At the end of the day though they went home and settled in.
Jan 6th is another example.
BLM was all encompassing at the time of its inception. The timing on that whole movement was very unfortunate. The end of the day people saw them as riots and not protests. Which was completely the media’s fault.

Fuck you I won’t do what you tell me.
Plead with the Machine for to See Reason.
Feeling free yet?
If you are in NY you should get out there now.
The NYPD’s third favorite thing after playing Candy Crush on the job and harassing minorities is escalating protestors into violence. Keep a cool head if you’re out there!
“”" Within minutes of the assault on the building, Columbia University officials said they had no choice but to request police intervention.
“We regret that protesters have chosen to escalate the situation through their actions,” “”"
The Columbia administration forgetting they have nothing without the students. One person gets yelled at and they clutch their pearls and call the bastards in to beat and arrest peaceful protesters. They are escalating things, not the students.
Students asking to expunge arrests related to these protests should be putting on their resume they are willing to stand up for their rights and the rights of others without a voice. The university and cops are the ones who should be embarrassed and ashamed.
I don’t understand the expungement of records thing. You want to protest against the fascist, capitalist system, but you still want your record clean cause once you’re out of school, you won’t be able to get a corporate job and join the capitalists with a dirty record?
Protesters and hippies used to I use their record as a badge of honor, now people wanna weekend protest, but have their 9-5 image unaffected
People have to make a living.
Never gonna change the world unless you want to actually change and not play along with the system
What would you suggest people do, willingly become homeless just so they can say they “didn’t play along?” What are you doing.
I understand wanting to break free of the system, that’s something I’m working towards myself, but you have to actually be realistic. If you want to make it to shore you still have to keep paddling to keep your head above water.
The hard core peaceful hippies did become homeless, so they learned how to farm and live communally and sustainably. Some moved to Canada.
What am I doing? I’m playing along. Once you guys want to stop playing and actually taking heads and making the street run red, I’m there! God I’m just waiting for it.
But going on the street with a sign on a Saturday and blocking roads isn’t doing shit, if anything it’s making more people hate you and your cause.
You guys want to actually do something? I’ll build the Gallows, come on, anytime you’re ready.
If these protests aren’t doing shit then why is the police state coming down so hard on them recently?
You haven’t been paying attention if you think police don’t come down on other protesters. You think only pro Palestine protesters get beaten, harassed, arrested and fucked over in America?
More than that - you’re supposed to fight it in court. Protesting doesn’t do shit, you have to use the system against itself
but you still want your record clean cause once you’re out of school, you won’t be able to get a corporate job
That’s an assumption you’ve made. Sounds more like protesters don’t want to be charge with a crime that they do not believe that they committed. Unless you consider protesting itself a crime.
Yet people still think we don’t live in a police state.
I wonder if Mayor Cop would say the same thing about a police union protest?
Or a Neo Nazi / white supremacist protest
Did you need to repeat what they said?
Ah, you are correct. My bad
As if this will stop protests?! Those in charge have never read a history book.
The police protect the money first and foremost.
They’re the enforcers of the rich. As it always was.
Isn’t he a Democrat? Why would he say that?
He used to be police. “Law and order” democrats are always idiots.
You know, this is exactly why the West hates terrorism.
It works, but doesn’t cost a ton of money.
If it wasn’t for Hamas attacking Israel, none of these people would care about the continued oppression of Palestinians.
Fuck zionists.
