Even if there was a certain level of violence occurring and it was not caused by the completely disproportional response of the LAPD, would that make the protest invalid? Because that’s what they are trying to make you think. That want it to be impossible to protest, which we are supposed to have a right to do in this country.
It doesn’t matter. That’s not what I brought this up to talk about. Honestly this whole sub thread is just derailing.
Screw the media, how normal is this? Has this happened before? Does anyone know?
Like yeah, Hawley sucks but are we being hypocritical or is this genuinely like an “OMG this is bad and something that is really really out of the ordinary behavior.” It’s honestly hard to tell with this stuff because EVERYTHING is the end of the world.
I care much less about the protest or the particular organization and a lot more about the novelty of a United States senator pressuring an organization of any kind as retaliation for its “vague support.”

This isn’t happening in a vacuum.
It does matter. It’s the only thing that matters. The entire point is demonizing protests so they can sick their jackbooted thugs on them.
