Would you consider throwing IEDs at cops while hundreds of people chant "pigs in a blanket fry em' like bacon" and try to set fire to the building the police are in violent?

Or howabout permanently blinding some of the cops with lasers? Is that violent, or is that just asking for a funding change in the police department?



Those statements, one from William Barr and one from trump, turned out to be false.

The pigs in blankets quote is from a peaceful 2015 protest. Trump lied about it in a Presidential debate.

The officers sight returned.

Edit: in response to this, you provided a video that doesn't include

As far as I can tell, it's someone throwing a firework at the side of a stone building, which while not a great idea isn't endangering anyone. And "fry em like bacon" no where to be found.

Please don't spread lies.


What are you talking about? There are videos of this:

As for that chants: go to any of the videos of the various occupations from the summer. If that really does come from a 2015 march instead of 2020, fine, but go to any video and find the same activity (arson, assault, IEDs, lasers) and chants like "no justice no peace".
