If you look at every sit in protest that has happened since the 60's and counted all who participated; that's one SH*T load of people. I'd also bet a majority of them today are respected citizens, with families and contributing to society. Jim it's like you need to look for a fight every day, get some help, maybe take up boxing or some martial arts to let loose of the anger.

From the encyclopedia; Sit-in movement, nonviolent movement of the U.S. civil rights era that began in Greensboro, North Carolina, in 1960. The sit-in, an act of civil disobedience, was a tactic that aroused sympathy for the demonstrators among moderates and uninvolved individuals.

it’s not merely a “sit in” if they put a cop in the hospital. unless he tripped over one of the sitters.

If the cop is using excessive force it may not be what you think it is Jim and do a little look back and see if police haven't routinely used excessive for to deal with protests that are in conflict with their views or the times.

so you’re assuming the cop had it coming. that’s not pushing an agenda. and no evidence whatsoever of that - none. but it serves your narrative. and we all know, that’s all that matters.

i bet the cop was a white supremacist russian operative.

you guys are all like sitcom characters at this point.

IF Jim you do understand the meaning of my saying IF? I don’t click links as many are certainly suspect due to the editing to tell the story they want to tell. Just arguing that sit ins have been around for a long time, sometimes the protesters are peacefully removed and charged if need be, other times (especially back in the civil rights protests) there is excessive forced used. Not everything is black and white no pun intended.

I approve of cops using excessive force to deal with excessive stupidity....
