@sandstorm8874 Every communist revolution shows that this isn't going to happen. They won't trust panderers. CNN, in spite of what they think, are part of the old guard, the power mongers that have to be taken down. IF it happens and it's still a big "IF", CNN, at least the people that are there now, are done. You won't see Lemon, Cuomo, Blitzer, Cooper or Acosta around anymore. They'll be dispensed with. The new regime will want their own people in place. It's how this works and always has.

Protesters are like members of a deck of cards. Each protester has the Constitutional right to peacefully assemble to bring their grievances to bear. However, when someone, who is a part of that assembly, throws a brick at a window, your assembly is no longer peaceful. Like the 5 of Clubs. It's a part of a deck of cards that's useful in a game of poker. However, if 1 or 2 of the cards have a big "X" painted on the back, that deck of cards is no longer useful. It doesn't matter that the 5 of Clubs wasn't marked, the deck has been rendered useless. It's the same with a peaceful assembly. Once violence is used, your assembly is no longer peaceful. Your personal intentions are irrelevant to the assembly's peacefulness just like the 5 of Clubs is now irrelevant to the usefulness of the deck of cards. The mature person realises that the assembly is no longer peaceful and goes home to show their objection to the use of force in a good cause. The leaders of the protests do the same and then tell everyone that these assemblies were no longer peaceful and they don't approve of the violence. They announce that they will go out again the following day and anyone, who wants to peacefully protest, is welcome to join. However, if you start trouble, all peaceful protesters will, once again, go home and leave you to deal with the authorities by yourself. That's how these "peaceful" assemblies should be organised. Until they are, they're NOT peaceful assemblies. They're just a marked deck of cards.

Who's telling those cops to go nuts on quiet crowds at 4 in the afternoon? Cops aren't just doing this on their own. There is a hierarchy of command that ends at the Mayor's office. If the mayor tells the police to stand down, they should do that. Also, there should be some kind of leadership in the protester ranks. They should be coordinating with the police and the mayor to ensure that things like this don't happen. That's what happened with those so-called "white supremacists" in the Michigan legislature. The leaders of that protest had consulted with the police, days earlier and those that supposedly "stormed" the legislature actually had their temperature taken before they entered. Notice, in this case, not ONE incidence of violence. They even cleaned up after themselves.
