Welp, thankfully you have a very easy way to identify if you're right or if you're wrong.

If you wake up tomorrow morning and 24h news cycles are megaphoning the murder of innocent protestors, you were right.

If nothing happens, you'll learn you were wrong, and hopefully you'll learn from it.

How does this make me wrong? All I see is 40ish arrests so far and unless they save the day with some sniper shot my point still stands. I am not sure how you think if the police don't kill people somehow that is an own. This is not a rational response to a protest unless you are in a place with very poor civil unrest or one that is not very free.

I was unaware 40 protestors have been arrested. nonviolent?

Looks like they just grabbed them. I was reading it might be the biggest mass protester arrest since the Vietnam era, but I am waiting for the final picture.
