you know what the problem with these people is? They think that their rights supersede the rights of everyone else. I have just as much a right to use the streets to get to work or go home as they have to protest. By blocking the streets these so called protesters are actually trampling other people's civil rights. If you're denting other people freedom of movement you're not being non violent. There's a way to protest and exercise your rights freely. I've seen protests far bigger than this that didn't have any problems. The whole point is to cause disruption as a tactic to bait the police into a confrontation then edit the video and use it for propaganda. I have no sympathy for them since getting arrested and pepper sprayed was the whole point.
Of course. How could I have been so silly? Protesting against a parasitic social layer that is responsible for plundering the economy and eroding rights for the sake of finance capital is
totally illegitimate. Please. There's no evidence that the protest movement plotted against the police to tarnish their public image. The police have been doing a great job of that on their own.
