What's this?

Cities, states or the federal gov needs to come up w/a standard plan that

works for all protest. It shouldn’t matter what the protest is about, be it the BLM, KKK, ANTIFA, the YMCA or Girl Scott’s of America. The reason for the protest should be irrelevant. There needs to be permits required & times scheduled for the protest. Which should be during reasonable hours so the peace isn’t disturbed late at night. Right now nothing is working.
There should zero tolerance for destruction & looting. For that to be enforced we’ll need overwhelming force to include our full arsenal of options, dogs, horses, armored vehicles, flash bangs, drones with video cameras, tear gas and even lethal force if needed. A show of force doesn’t help if it’s not utilized. It’s time we start caring more about keeping the peace for law abiding citizens than those that aren’t law abiding.

This shouldn’t be a TOS violation because this should apply to all protest no matter the cause. Politics should never factor in to how we handle protestors.
