I'm fine with the peaceful protest ... protest away , doesnt have any right to block bridges or traffic .

Nonviolent has never meant nondisruptive. There's a long history of protests in streets/bridges, of civil disobedience involving physically blocking the normal functioning of aspects of society. Marching in circles in free speech zones tends to just get ignored, and people are refusing to be overlooked or ignored.

The media is showing plenty of peaceful protests. It’s just many are also setting fires and destroying neighborhoods and cities so those are covered in the news as well. As it should be.

We all know the sensational gets the new coverage and the not so sensational takes a back seat. Kind of like the old adage no news is good news and bad news is news. This story though needs a well rounded reporting so that there is not a stereotypical narrative of a single perspective. I am not defending the violence, looting, fighting etc. that is going on as there is simply not an excuse for that, but we paint with a broad brush when we ascribe this response with just a single description.

NOTE: The response was not directed at you Frank. Your comment just caused me to think about it.

The convenient protest? Smh

Cmon bud , I didnt say that , I fully get protest need attention , but blocking traffic isnt the way IMO , partly , PARTLY because innocent people are being pulled from their vehicles and getting beat downs . That aint happening to me . And I wouldnt want it happening to you either . You really think blocking traffic advances the true cause of addressing police brutality ? and/or racism ? I dont.

I get it , you have to draw attention , but he moment they start beating on cars trapped in traffic is the moment it gets too dangerous for all involved , even innocent peaceful protestors . Too many innocent people trying to protect their own property are being injured . You dont have the right to stop me as I drive down the highway .. because SADLY some who stopped have gotten curb stomped . So if I see an angry mob trying to stop me , it isnt happening.

Royce White is a scumball fraud. He's been allowed to get away with anything/everything and his family threw a fit when he was expelled from DeLaSalle (same HS as Reid Travis attended) for cheating. So he went to Hopkins, behaved like a clown, was into things you shouldn't be into (not hard to figure out and we ain't talking recreational cigarettes) and hid behind social anxiety. The entire family is garbage. His Grandfather is such an ******* that he once tried to get a rival coach I know fired because he saw the man smiling during singing of National Anthem and accused him of making fun of the student singing. That student was the man's son and he was smiling with pride. Instead of an apology, he told him he felt disrespected because the man smiled during the Anthem. Really a piece of work. Was at a Pro Am prior to Royce attending college where he disrespected Rene Pulley (Founder of Howard Pulley) so much that Rene, about as even keeled calm man lit into him and told him and White's family to GTFO in front of a packed gym when Pro Am was played at Salvation Army in St. Paul--it's now at DeLaSalle HS.

So those are a few things to echo The Anonymous and first hand that I'm free sharing. People who have never been told to straighten up, change presentation, not who they are. They reinvent to con, not to grow. Don't buy anything this fraud says.

Don't waste your time on that guy. He's just looking to insult and stir trouble today. Why the mods are letting him do it is beyond me.

I just read his comments- he's calling for armed citizens to interrupt police in the line of duty? That's not the way. All that will do is lead to more violence and crime. No, no, no. Vigilante law doesn't work.

They had every right to block streets and bridges. I have no problem with the protesters. The rioting is another story. Although from what I've seen on TV most of those people could care less the issue. Most of the people starting fires are ANTIFA and are just causing damage.

Blocking streets and bridges blocks emergency services like ambulances and fire trucks. There are many better ways to seek attention for your cause that don't risk the life of innocent people.

That's the whole point though. Nobody is going to listen to a protest that's off to the side, people do not march on the sidewalk, you do not hold rallies in the middle of the woods where only the protesters are present.

And there are many peaceful protests going on. All of these protests aren't leading to innocent people being ripped from their cars and being beat down by "terrorists" or whatever people are telling you.

If he couldn’t fly on a plane in the NBA, how did he play in away games in college? Iowa isn’t exactly close to anything.

A lot of these replies in this post are very telling. The initial link was of a clear peaceful protest.

Some do not want the peaceful protests inconveniencing others. Boo hoo.

And then the comments go directly to the violent protests and looting, which is not a product of the peaceful protests and it's unsubstantiated that a majority of those actions are even from protesters.

But you don't want that either.

Because those people are "terrorists" as labeled by Trump.

So what you really want is for people to not do anything or say anything or for it to occur in your peripheral so you don't have to deal with it or make you feel uncomfortable.
