It’s crumbling if we allow to. We need to be aware the enemy plays dirty. We need to be aware of what they will do. We need to have video and audio documentation of what they are doing. It’s like the police officer that shot the Australian reporter with a rubber projectile. We need to keep bringing this up and keep pressing for answers. Personally I think the officer needs to be identified, investigated as to the who, what and why the officer fired his weapon and , if he cannot answer the questions to the investigator’s satisfaction, brought to trial.

We cannot go to their level!

A LAPD officer also shot a BBC reporter in the thigh with a 40mm rubber bullett. He felt it & realized something was sticking out of his posterior thigh & he was bleeding. He ended up in the hospital to have it removed, stop the bleeding & repair the damage done. These reporters were simply reporting. Not in the way, not inciting the crowd, not doing anything wrong & the police aimed at them & fired. Police that do that, have zero self discipline & should not have a firearm of any type in their hands. They need disciplinary action taken against them by the department & legal action taken against them by their victims they unlawfully & purposefully injured.

I agree but at this moment in time people need to stay peacefully protesting. All the evidence is piling up but won't be acted on until trump is unmasked and his real intentions laid out for the public, including his followers.

The problem Vee, is that MAGA agitators are joining the peaceful crowds and then starting violence. That is very hard to prevent.

Okay that’s a big issue. If you’re protesting introduce yourself to a group and stick with them. There’s safety in numbers remember. Then if you see someone kicking off you can as a group tell them to quit it or you’ll report them to the police. Violence shouldn’t be tolerated at any time and you will be well within yours rights to lodge a complaint. If they are part of trumps 5th Column they’ll back off rather that be caught out. If the are just being stupid for no reason other than ? then it will make them look ridiculous. It’s a protest against the violence trump is causing remind them. Of course you have to gauge the scene at the time and adapt your methods. Be disapproving rather than confrontational.

I hope the LA police officer who shot an Australian journalist with a rubber bullet is an isolated idiot...

All those idiots are “isolated” that’s their whole problem, they are not part of the human race anymore. Russia, China and North Korea I bet are enjoying this democracy breaking dumbos antics.

Not if you are aware of who you are surrounded by, what they are up to. If you are going to be out in the streets, you need to be street smart. If you see that violence is occurring, take notice of who starts it. Also, notice who comes to help you, or who shoots the ones being peaceful.
