One thing that I wish that more people would accept is that protesting is fine, but if you break laws, like putting paint on paintings in museums, shutting down traffic, or trespassing than the state has a responsibility to take steps to protect everyone else's rights as well.
For example, I was not arrested for this because I kept the kids on the sidewalks
Are the cops always in the right? Of course not, but protesters are not always in the right either eg #J6
