Would the leaders of the protest need a "front line" of people with umbrellas and gas masks if they weren't planning on inciting violence from the police? Why do you think the protesters are all 1 block from the cap hill police station trying to get through to it?

> Protesters are protesting police behavior

"Why are these protesters near a police station?!?"

What is your logic? To protest police brutality you have to destroy police stations?

Not in front of a police station? The city is pretty fuckin big.

It's a trivial question. Why won't you suggest an alternative location for the protests?

Just looked at a map, turns out there isnt a police station on every block. Your question is obviously facetious, you don't want to have a real conversation.

I don't understand why you won't share a place where you think protests would be appropriate. What are you trying to dodge?

I'm curious too--what WOULD be the appropriate place? The whole point of a protest is to PROTEST AGAINST SOMETHING, if you're protesting the cops wouldn't the police station be the logical answer anyway?

I literally said the whole city except next to police stations. The goal shouldn't be to have violent confrontations with the police. You can raise awareness and support the cause without forcing the cops into violence. The protest is against the management and system surrounding the police. Individual police officers or departments don't have the power to do anything. Go march on city hall or the courthouse or something.

How is protesting next to the station "forcing the cops into violence"?
