If me and my fellow protestors block a road, we are being non-violent, but we are being disruptive.

And that is peaceful as well, until it isn’t.

...and in 99% of the cases where it stops being "peaceful" it's because cops come in and violently assault everyone to try to break up the protest.

I'm really not sure of the point you're trying to make. Protest can be peaceful, non-violent and disruptive.

You’re the one arguing with me after I said protests are peaceful. What the fucking hell is going on here?
