In my twenties I held this belief some what. I was a big peaceful protest guy. To be fair my justification back then was I didn't like how it seemed to be the reasoning why cops are militarizing. Many of the protests at the time just seemed to devolve once when alt right figures infiltrated and turned it into a riot, and many of these protests where set up on Facebook groups by people not even in our country. Many of them organized events right next to eachother at the same time. Just none of it seemed productive.
Either things have changed or my opinions matured because I feel like we should be in the streets over every little issue. And I wana see cop cars flipped over and on fire these days. The country feels slightly more unified then it used to, so I have slightly more faith that things would turn out more productive. There's core issues like flock that reach across the isle and people firmly established they don't like it, and has resulted in minor change.
