there are peaceful protests going on and there are rioters and people breaking stuff
it seems the police are just looking at any group of people and assuming its rioting and tear gassing them and stuff. last night there was a twitter livefeed of a peaceful protest going on and the police decided it'd be a great idea to just arrest all those people. also this morning i was reading that they raided a church where they had medicine and other supplies set out to treat people, the whole mess is a clusterforget really and while i think the police are stuffbags for doing things like that i also understand that this whole ordeal is a mess and that its easy to mistake peaceful protesting for something worse
