The right to protest peacefully....
Remember these:

Belligerent, threatening bigots and bullies supporting a corrupt system using the lingo of protest.

Then we have 700 peaceful demonstrator arrest for protesting thievery in New York.

1. I'll bet those douchebag assholes had a permit, though.
It's not police favoritism, it's maintenance of public safety.

This false "frame" that "all of the police are bad" is tiresome.

2. People are safer with a bunch of teabaggers with guns than blocking traffic en masse?
Huh. Who'd a thought

3. I think you're safer in DC at a protest than wedged on a city bridge with cars trying to compete
with pedestrians.

Who'd get near those teabagging idiots, except their pals? They've got all the room in the world to move, at least in those pics.

5. Except the police closed both ends of the bridge. No cars allowed on it. Hence the complaints
about "dirty hippies" interfering with people's rights to get home, esp those 911 site workers that I read about.

sorry, having fun with fonts
