The point is the risk of heavy police presence at a protest is not worth the "protection" they do or don't offer.

Ban protests if you really want to as a nation but stop this "you totally can protest, it is your right! Oh watch out for the tear gas" crap.

I don’t know how many more times I can say that I believe the ACAB movement before it finally sets in for you. The police are not the only fucking problem we face. And to say otherwise is dangerous and misleading.

OK, I will spell it out.

THE HEAVY POLICE PRESENCE AT PROTESTS ARE THE PROBLEM.

And if you just read the next several walls of text you can see that it is not even close.
