The protester’s definition of violence differs from yours and mind. The police have surrendered. After this, their only function will be revenue gathering as in issuing traffic tickets. It is once again the law abiding citizen that gets it in the ass. without vasoline.
The protester’s definition of violence differs from yours and mine
Best I can tell, the protester's definition of violence varies by who is doing it. "I get to scream hatred in people's faces and spew racist insults and pelt people with frozen water bottles, and that's a 'peaceful protest,' but if a cop touches anybody or screams back, that's 'police brutality'."
Watching youtube videos taken by the "protestors" of stuff they're apparently proud of, I honestly don't know how that many cops have managed to maintain their cool this long under this much pressure and overwork. My dad always said that cops would be thugs if they weren't cops; I think he's been proven wrong, because no thug could pull this off, and there've only been a couple of cops who flipped out and returned in kind.
Leftists do not regard property destruction as "violence". However, they do define police using force to arrest somebody as "violence".
