So the cops didn't arrest people for their free speech & people are upset?
Free speech, as long as they like the free speech.
Watch what a bunch of black people or university students start a protest
Then again, you already know this...
Black people & students can organize & exercise their rights to free speech. Do you think it is forbidden? The issue with most university protest is that campuses are private property and so if the school says they can't protest on their property, then they can be trespassed. That is very different. I'm not pretending that there aren't injustices. In fact, there have been plenty of lawsuits where someone has sued for having their civil rights violated and won. Multiple times a year you hear about how cities have had to pay out hundreds of thousands, sometimes several million, because of it.
The solution to injustices though isn't more injustice. You think the solution to cops shooting someone who hasn't committed a crime, is to shoot more people that haven't committed a crime?
