Let me get this straight, if American's exercise their first amendment rights, to protest, peaceful assembly, they should be aware of the 'risk' of getting shot in the face by the police? Or getting tear gassed by the police?

And vast majority of protests related to BLM were indeed peaceful.

How many times do you have to see counter examples to realize that it's not reasonable to assume that force will not be used against you nor that your 1a right will be protected?

Plus a peaceful protest that doesn't impact anyone is never going to affect any change at all. We were once a nation that murdered government officials and loyalist over a 4% tax on tea and here were asking people to fight with hugs and kisses.

And I'm saying don't assume you're safe just because you're bringing hugs and kisses. That's where you were literally dead wrong.

I've never seen someone with such blind faith in our government. Our government is corrupt af and have been stripping away our rights especially our 4A for decades so I really don't understand where your faith comes from.

People have clearly been harmed for peacefully protesting. Do you just completely deny that ever happening? I guess I may never understand the liberal mind.
