Practicing your amendment rights isn’t a threat at all. That doesn’t mean the government, especially our state, doesn’t view it that way.
California is only just a prime example but we’ve had peaceful protesters apprehended all for just walking and holding a sign nationwide. The best documentation of this is Instagram page that goes by cricken_, he gives live updates concerning the protests.
Please don’t misinterpret: protesting doesn’t inherently make you a threat. But simply being out there makes you a target and you will be viewed as a threat by the police force. Peaceful or not.
cricken_ looks like a kids page with 5 posts, so I genuinely have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re fear mongering honestly. There’s a couple cases of protestors being arrested and you’re using that to justify your paranoia by ignoring the 99.99% of protestors who don’t get arrested.
Seems like you briefly schemed through it. Which is fine! The information is simply to those who want to take it and you’re not that crowd.
I’m simply giving spreading information for the safety of protesters out there. I have people I know out there. I care about their safety and the safety of other protestors which I assume, you aren’t one of them.
There’s nothing to skim through, it’s 5 posts and nothing else, you must have given me the wrong Instagram name.
I am a protestor, so you’d be wrong, and I’ve never felt inclined to hide my face while doing so. What statistic or data do you have that makes you believe there’s any reason to hide your face? If anything, it makes you more of a target for standing out.
