LA PD has gone out of their way to state yesterday's demonstrations were peaceful. Other than ice using chemical munitions, sometimes lethal munitions and striking a protester with a vehicle of course.

Trump's response? Activating the national guard in an illegal manner to help ICE with deportations.

This shouldn't come as a surprise, it's in project 2025!

Those pesky peaceful protestors, trying to set LEO on fire. But it's for a great cause, right?

yeah, it´s frustrating when a few people out of thousands take things too far...but people have a right to protest, just like people have a right to guns...just like when there is a shooting, people demand gun control, when people are protesting peacefully, and a few resort to destroying things, people demand the national guard, army, navy, air force, marines, proud boys...

Saturday was peaceful, Sunday was not. There were a few bad eggs yesterday I saw a number of smashed police cars from rocks being thrown on them. There was also some pretty egregious law enforcement actions. No one should be purposefully trampled by a horse or shot by a rubber bullet for just standing there.

How are these excuses any different from what MAGA apologists said after Jan. 6th?

Tucker Carlson described Jan 6th as “mostly peaceful with a small percentage that were hooligans”

Senator Ron Johnson: “By and large, it was peaceful protest, except for there were a number of people, basically agitators that whipped the crowd”

At some point, MAGA and the far left need to take responsibility for their actions that promote violence.
