    Non violent protest is not peaceful.

    https://www.grassrootsthinking.com/nonviolence-is-violence-too-somebodys-gotta-die/

    Randomly firing into a group of ICE will absolutely backfire on the movement. But Peaceful protests often are not peaceful before change happens. When you go to a protest understand that you are committing to a dangerous act. The more of us there are, the less the danger, but know always that there is no “Peaceful” protest. There will always be violence from the state. The monopoly of violence is how nations keep and maintain power. Act accordingly.
