To expand on this the last 2 months have seen two forms of non-violent protests, for 2 different causes. I'm going to have to space it in a small thread.

1) 90-95% White Americans protesting the ability to go out and do whatever they want. 1/- https://twitter.com/CraigSJ/status/1266008608417996802
White folks armed with military outfitted AR-15's, AK-47's, 50. Caliber browning machine guns, and an AT-4 RPG. Storm the capitol of some cities screaming at police officers with no masks on, basically biological terrorism. Yet 0 and i mean 0 tear gas is fired. no one is hurt. 2/
Not to mention 0 police decked out in riot gear and armed with riot weapons as seen here. If the guy with the weapon point at the crowd of armed white men a literal civil war wouldve broken out....Ill come back to this 3/
2) A crowd of Unarmed Americans of mixed races peacefully protests the murder of an unarmed black man by a police officer (Who still is walking free at this point) and they are violently fired upon by police with tear gas and rubber bullets. Sending a peaceful crowd 4/
Into a panic, causing more pain and more suffering. Now people are violent, and angrier. A peaceful unarmed march is met with violence while an armed ready to spark march that couldve lead to hundreds of deaths is met with nothing? What else are people supposed to do? 5/
firing on the unarmed and not firing on those that protested WEEKS before says, "We aren't afraid of you so we will harm you because you can't harm us, like those could've 2 weeks ago with massive firepower". I wrap this thread with an image i posted yesterday...
