Do you think federal agents that refuse to identify themselves, present warrants, or follow due process is law and order? Do you think peace officers that shoot munitions at unarmed civilians walking home is a fair trade for suspension of the first amendment?

That's the reason why people are protesting. If you wanna provide evidence about "your city", be specific, because places like Portland, Seattle, Austin, SF, NYC, Boston, and more are doing just fine.

My answer to both of your questions is "no."

I don't have a problem with the protesting. I do have a problem with violence and law breaking, regardless of who's carrying it out.

Historically, armed aggressors of the state don’t just give power back to the nonviolent and peaceful.

Further, peaceful protest has been happening vis-à-vis constituents contacting their representatives - and also congregating in the streets - in the months leading up to this.

You're on the wrong side of this, plain and simple.
