Never forget that CA governor Ronald Reagan pushed for a law against folks exercising their second amendment rights to bear arms while patrolling and protecting their communities.
Those folks? The Black Panthers.

Both Republicans and Democrats in California supported increased gun control, as did the National Rifle Association of America.
Well yeah one are peaceful protestors, the other is armed. Cops get scared when someone else can fight back on an even playing field. Even if that somebody is a horrible monster murdering children. They didn’t join the force to protect people they joined so people had to do what they say.
“To protect capital and serve the upper class.”
It was actually ruled they exist to protect property. So you aren’t far off from the truth. We live in backwards land. The changes were so imperceptible, that we didn’t even notice them replacing the sky with the ground.
Imperceptible to someone completely ignoring history and the world around them, sure!
The concept of state sponsored police in the US originated in slave hunting gangs. The US never changed since the beginning.
To your point though there is an incredible amount of brainwashing. Your average North Korean is less brainwashed than Americans, at least they know what other countries have.
Americans think they are the last beacon of civilization and the developed world is in ruins when it’s literally the other way around lmao.
Because they know college protesters aren’t armed.
Because they’re cowards. Violent cowards who revel in oppression. The worst kind of coward.
They’re bullies.
Both the cowardice in the face of actual risk to themselves and the senseless use of violence when they feel safe against those who can or won’t resist in a way that endagers them, are core bully traits.
College protesters really need to learn firearm safety and start open carrying rifles at their protests. But they all gotta do it. Can’t be one or two random people.
Cops are gutless cowards who can only punch down on people who can’t fight back; as soon as they meet someone who poses even a slight threat they cower away.
They are bullies. And bullies love punching down.
Hollywood spread police propaganda for decades about cops and detectives that are heroes, when in reality the majority are out of shape bullies.
Yeah, they’re bullies. They want to beat/kill unarmed minorities and college students for “not respecting their authority” (exercising their constitutional rights), not actually uphold the law. Cowards…
I am basically afraid of getting on some kind of dissenter’s list by up voting this one.
The only way to beat this is to (up)vote
College protesters should have guns.
I mean sure but then we are absolutely asking for a massacre and internal war.
Guns only work if you are willing to use them. And once we are, we are saying we don’t find police presence valid and the state comes crashing down upon you to end your pitiful existence for posing an internal threat.
We are a country with essentially a bad auto-immune disease that attacks whatever it deems as foreign.
The red hat morons had guns at all their protests and they were allowed to protest as long as they wanted, since police didn’t want to escalate.
Meanwhile peaceful, unarmed protesters get pounded into the ground
🤔
Most of them weren’t willing to use them and were left alone because the cops were in civilian clothes and busy… You know, doing something other than police work in the exact same area for some reason.
And again what’s seen as foreign.
Complaining about us stomping others by being a nuisance is against the people that just want us to shut up and get in line.
Complaining that we aren’t stomping hard enough and not enough people is just constructive criticism.The current goal is to keep things exactly as they are or with more oppression as needed keep it static.
The left can bring guns but it won’t change anything other than maybe slightly more likely to die by a cop’s hand unless they are willing to use them and once that starts it’s will be a lot tougher because we are on the side of change, which must be crushed by the current system.
That’s how it is.
everyone should have guns.
Says the guy sitting safely in front of his PC, never having been to a single protest. Sure buddy, you tell them.
They’re just like the IDF. They can only fight unarmed women and children.
