I have no problem with protesters clashing with unlawfully deployed police. What I do have a problem with is the idea that, “if they can break the rules, then so can we”. That, I will criticize. Because that indicates that we are not on the same side anymore.
It’s not “if they can break the rules, then so can we." It’s “They’re taking over our country by deploying armed troops everywhere, ICE, a corrupt Scotus, EO’s that break the law and presidential immunity. There are no rules to be broken anymore. We must save our democracy or we’ll be sorry we didn’t.”

Following an unjust law is worse than disobeying a just law.
