Police in riot gear showing up at peaceful protests escalate the situation by creating an antagonistic environment. A line of officers donned in military-style gear standing side-by-side holding batons and shields and guns that fire projectiles. 1/n

the protestors. They are there to protect property and to show force. They are there to enforce curfew. By shooting high powered projectiles indiscriminately (protestors have been seriously injured; loss of vision from being hit in the face; loss of the ability to father...3/n
