> threatening threatening to use the military to suppress peaceful protests (an actual violation of the 1st amendment).

The 1st amendment only covers peaceful protesters who aren't burning buildings down and having gunfights in the street.




There have been thousands of protestors out on the streets for nearly a month now. If there were burning buildings and having gunfights in the streets this whole time, there wouldn't be any cities left.


Uhh, have you seen the CHAZ/CHOP?

Edit: 38 people shot in half a day in NYC: https://www.pix11.com/news/local-news/24-people-shot-in-18-i...

Don't live in Seattle so not personally. I do have a people I trust who live there who have been to the center of the "CHAZ" area he it's fine. They haven't even burned down the Police station which would be target number 1 if they were out-of-control.


Three people were recently shot in CHAZ, and it's why loads of protesters left.
