Can you provide an example of an unambiguously peaceful protester being attacked? Id like to research one you consider a clear case.

Here are several off the top of my head with sources and videos:

Peaceful protester/protest crowd attacked:

U.S. Citizen arrested/detained for having an accent:

In a Richfield Target, video shows federal agents detaining Target employees, including one being tackled/handcuffed while saying “I’m literally a U.S. citizen,” and they were later released:

  • Please pick one. Videos don’t show full context. I will try to run to the ground ( as well as I can ) one of these.

    Which would you say is the one that best makes your case?

    • Okay, go for the first one where ICE shoots a pastor directly in the head from a rooftop with a pepper ball (their claimed reason was they were blocking a vehicle, but in the video the pastor is on the sidewalk and there is no vehicle in sight anywhere. Also, that is not the way that sort of weapon is supposed to be used for crowd control as it could seriously injure someone).
