You tell us what they should have done.
Be specific.
RE: You tell us what they should have done.
Continue protesting - PEACEFULLY. That’s what the constitution tells us about our rights. The First Amendment guarantees “the freedom of speech” but also “the right of the people to PEACEABLY assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.”
I emphasize the important word. VIOLENCE and DESTRUCTION has no place in the First Amendment.
The alternative is revolution. Is that what you have in mind?
