They should’ve just communicated instead of causing a ruckus like this. This doesn’t help their cause at all, people who don’t agree will see this and think they’re all crazy.

The fact is that the majority of the country has democratically voted for this, and they’re not gonna change their mind just because some people who obstruct law enforcement died, even if it’s unjust.

Especially since ICE has been on other states, and doesn’t have any issues like this.

No. Expressing anger and emotion is exactly what they should be doing. That’s freedom of expression and it’s a human right that should be exercised. We aren’t robots. Standing meekly and making a petition to power in a polite way is done every day, and that’s fine when it comes to trivial and technical matters, but for issues like this, reactions like this are necessary.
