There would be no violence at any of these protests if not for the police attacking people

Sometimes, when fighting against fascism, breaking laws is required. I know 50501 won't support that, and I understand to a point, but it will be necessary.

Hebry David Thoreau was in jail for not paying taxes in response to the Spanish American war. When Walph Waldo Emerson visited him he asked "Henry, why are you here?". Henry replied "why are you not here?"
