@freemo Yep, nothing but peaceful protestors here youtu.be/ibWJO02nNsY?t=650 — just your friendly picketers engaging in their right to destroy federal property, thwart police barricades, and hunt down evacuating legislators. Just your everyday in the States, right?

@rlamacraft Never said how they behaved was acceptable, or that they were non-confrontational.. I did say that they they were unarmed and non-violent. More specifically:

1) The vast majority did not strike, injure or otherwise cause violence against a person. The only exceptions I know of this was in response to first being beaten physically by the person who was attacked, and even then I only know of one such case

2) Multiple protestors, all unarmed, none of whom phyiscally assaulted anyone were killed

Moreover, it wasnt until AFTER the first unarmed protesters was murdered that more wide spread aggression started taking place (though still only isolated cases of physical violence).

@rlamacraft Also notice in the video you posted 3 policeman hold off the crowd and are not assaulted even once, despite their clear intention to get inside not one single person strikes an officer in that crowd or do you see them attempting to injur or hurt anyone in that video at any point.

However you **do** see a police officer behind the door shooting and killing the unarmed and non-violent protests for breaking the window and trying to enter.

They are destroying property, and what they are doing is wrong, and ive said this before, but that doesnt change the fact that an unarmed person who did not commit violence against any persons was shot dead.
