Protesters are "taking a knee", police are calling this an "unlawful assembly" and firing some projectiles.

I wonder if it's a protest on the freeway...or if PG&E blew up another town.

(945 posts)6. How is this Impressive?
The racial profiling in San Jose' has been terrible in the last ten years. "Peaceful" protests in the face of police brutality has no impact whatsoever. The Rebellion had to darn near burn the city down in Minneapolis in order to get an arrest.
I don't advocate any form of violence, but "impressive" protests don't stop anything but traffic.
