Two people were arrested at the protests for their involvement in the protests — including pro-Palestinian protestor Chris Zelle. Zelle has been charged with 3 counts of felony charges, including one count of mob action and two counts of aggravated battery against a police officer. Another pro-Palestinian protestor, George Vassilatos faced preliminary misdemeanor charges of mob action.

Considering that protests are organized and paid for by shadow groups and participants are trained to incite, all protests should all be banned.
Contemporary protests are designed to disrupt. A trained core cadre is launched and “useful idiots” fill the ranks – believing they are part of something bigger than themselves. Citizens and law enforcement are injured, property is destroyed and lives are disrupted.
Example: BLM riots in 2020. Spontaneous? Not by a long shot.
Why should society protect and tolerate this brand of domestic terrorism?

Money spent on policing does little to prevent crime. It goes along way underpinning their take home pay. I don’t blame the cops though. They’ve learned to play Kim Foxx game.

Cops’ hands are tied – now policing is strictly reactive. Any attempt at proactive policing is punished on multiple levels.
