    Compare what happened with the BLM protests to what cops did at the insurrection.

    Cops choose to treat the causes I don’t support with kid gloves and causes I do support with brutality already. Making protesting in the streets a felony will only de facto criminalize the behavior for one side.

      So because a law is enforced badly anarchy should rule?

      I agree there is uneven enforcement and it wouldn’t surprise me at all if people have produced studies showing that. The solution is not to have no laws. The solution is to fix how laws are enforced.

        The solution is also not additional laws for police to abuse against those who want police accountability. Fix the police first, then we can talk about how you want to equate a lack of new laws with lawlessness.

          No. Stop blocking ambulances first. We don’t need a perfect system before we have any laws.

          Are you people going to continue to just throw random arguments at the wall to see what sticks?

            We have laws. You keep pretending we don’t because you want to make protesting a felony.
