Is it so bad to have arrests for blocking traffic, without the violence Lewk was celebrating in previous threads? Thats what protesters want, the media coverage of the heavy handed tactics the police use. Thats why the civil rights movement ended up being so effective.

I understand the need/desire to protest. I also understand that people have shit to do and places to be. Police need better training to deescalate situations instead of feeding the media the violence everyone is expecting.
