    What do you call them pulling the first person who was just talking over a bullhorn exactly? Unless he said he would, in an incrementing way, kill someone like them or an elected official they’re just destroying his first amendment rights.

      I explained I don’t know what lead up to that. (it’s not in the video but was most likely the enforcement being fascist d bags but I was only commenting on what’s in the video) The guy that got shot in the face ran up on the the guys with guns, I assume a knee jerk reaction to save his friend (understandable), once he did that he engaged physically with them (which is what they want) which gave them the excuse to use (in their rule book) non lethal tactics to control the situation. There is 2 ways to fight this war and actually make lasting change. 1) Be the stronger force because unfortunately in the world we live in currently “might makes right” and good luck with that without major coordination or 2) out smart them with educated planned tactics and win in the courts like we had to do with segregation. But 2 will never happen without being able to hear constructive criticism.

          I didn’t say it’s fine you knob. Go get marytred like an idiot. I’m telling you how the rules of engagement work from their POV, it’s not justified, it’s absolutely fu*ked. But that’s the way it is right now. Protesters need to know this and how to avoid getting shot in the face or even murdered. DO NOT ENGAGE!
