    [off topic] If you’re at a peaceful demonstration and see someone getting ready to throw a rock at a cop be ready to stop them. Cops love to send in provocateurs so they can have a reason to bust heads.

    Back in the day, Union demonstrators had their own goon squads to make sure things stayed quiet.
