““It was uncalled for,” Dawes said. “These people are out here, you know these are my membership, and they’re out here doing a peaceful, legal demonstration.”

No, not if they are impeding traffic.

Should they have been hit, no. They also shouldn’t be blocking an entry/exit area.

I support what they are doing, but blocking an area like that could cause them more issues. Hopefully not, but the world tends to cater to the wealthy, not the normal working class.

Effective protests are disruptive.

BLM just looted Philly so turn out that isn’t really true. They had a whole summer of “fiery but mostly peaceful” protesting that solved nothing.

BLM did not just loot Philly you fucking liar. I know because I live around there and I’ve been reading about the story you’re referring to all day. Fuck off with that bullshit, the cops themselves say that the looting was by opportunists that were unconnected to the peaceful protests that were going on the same night.
