ASSuming a lot, again? They are building a very large police training center in a part of town that is full of forest, and the residents do not want it there. There was a protest legit, and some revelers from a nearby music festival showed up & started throwing fireworks at the cops. Antifa has zero to do with it.

Seems to me that those Jan. 6th rioters you have been defending should have remembered that as well.

Police acted with great restraint. When the “peaceful “ protesters started throwing bricks, Molotov cocktails, and large fireworks, its amazing that none were shot. I’ve seen a lot of TV footage of the event and several cops were damn lucky they weren’t blinded or otherwise seriously injured. One large and very expensive tractor was burned up. Peaceful my ass!

Read the article you fucking dolt. They don't want the area deforested for ANYTHING. No reason why they have to put it there. The people's opinion is more important than the developer's on the issue. You would be OK with a McDonalds on the site of the tomb of the unknown soldier.

Didn't the cops shoot and kill a protester at this location a few months ago?

The government introduced a bill that seeks to categorise organisations and individuals who receive funding from abroad as foreign agents and gives itself a lot of powers over such entities and individuals. This has set off protests as it is widely seen as an imitation of similar draconian laws enacted in Russia and aimed at NGOs and press that are funded by the EU/West. EU and the US have criticised the bill as anti-freedom and against the values of the EU which the country seeks to join. However, the present government does not seem to relent for reasons only known to them. Time will tell how things will turn out.

Apparently none of you can read. This has been an issue for awhile now and the locals do not want it there. The fact that almost all those arrested were outsiders, and not many of them, only proves that the locals were peacefully protesting.

thirdly, someone breaking a window at work is NOT protected under castle doctrine, and therefore it's a false choice to compare to a home invasion

lastly, everyone convicted of trespassing on jan 6th should be asking for resentencing, given new evidence, that had been suppressed by the gov't

That cop should have kept shooting until his gun was empty, then reloaded. Those rioters deserve zero mercy.

Resentence them all, start by doubling the time they do.
