    Of course, it was pretty surreal to see people vilifying the effects of the protest not the protesters.

      Damn, fuck those people that didn’t also support the truckers’ right to protest!

      That said, you should know if people are breaking the law while protesting they’re normally still arrested - that’s called civil disobedience. You’re absolutely still charged and prosecuted (normally).

      That’s when people would expect and support police doing what they’re supposed to be doing (since we all pay them to enforce laws fairly, not just to beat black and brown people). It’s not hypocritical to support police doing what you think they should be doing - protecting, serving, enforcing traffic laws, etc.

      acab, btw
