      YES, protesters are freely associating members of the general public, whereas the police are vetted and trained professionals, payed by taxes to “uphold the law”.
      They should be held to a higher standard!

      I assume you’re comparing this to rhetoric around cops. Cops are ideologically and organizationally unified with top down command structure and they protect one another even in cases of wrongdoing or violence.

      Most modern protests are just random people who chose to show up. These are totally different situations.

        Of course they’re totally different. But it’s a funny comparison since the two groups are so related.

      What is awkward is how you failed to realize how insanely dumb and context-free your logic is to come to such an assinine conclusion…

        Or how you presume there’s any conclusion or point. Just a silly observation. The two groups, protectors amd cops, are very related. It’s just a silly comparison. I’m not arguing any actual point.

        Sensitive bunch. I’ve literally agreed with ACAB for a long time.
