Interesting. We were basically told to let it go when all the peaceful protesters were tearing apart cities a few years ago

[benknowbi]

Ah yes the Democratic party. The party of choice and freedom, ready to silence by arrest any dissenters.

[iginbltn]

Chicago is not ready. When it comes to the mayor and his police chief, you know they're not ready.

[keithhoss]

Protests are legal in the United States if you're protesting for a cause that supports Democrat's apparently.

[realbarrylipscombjr]

You don't ever see that type of law enforcement when it comes to chicago in general, but they make special exceptions for their people and the democratic, Communist party.

Imagine waving a flag for a country you won't live in. 🙄

[Wolfcamp]

It's like they are expecting a bunch of people known for violence or something.

[michaela.abbott]

Will the DNC require photo ID to attend?

[TwoPawz-]

[nessa]

Why are they so geared up? Who are they hoping to arrest? 😂 Who is going to these planned protests? 30k protesters expected???? No one can afford to take off from work to go to this boring convention.

[rnkim]

[TS-whey]

ARE THEY GONNA SECURE THE ROOFTOPS ? 😏

[MrTREY]

"Hey ... who said protests were supposed to be peaceful ?"

[ThePervertDJ]

oh, NOW they're ready... oooohhhkay

[mackthnife]

And then the week after the convention, the mayor will defund the police and let all of the perps out of jail.

[doubletaptodash]

Now I might be wrong or it might vary state by state, as far as ive known.... you gotta file to have your protest okayed by some judge or something. If you don't, it's not a "protest." Makes me wonder who keeps authorizing these things.

Who has created this mess. Look at who has always pushed for violence. Accountability, remember Jan 6th
They said, Its going to be wild.
Sad, protesting is ok. Violence is Not! Please dont create violence.
