They laid down their shields at the request of a protestor, which is why the rest of their gear is still in tact. This is the national guard, there are probably people there who are facing down their neighbors right now, I'm sure it's difficult for them too.
The point is that these people had a choice to escalate or de-escalate, and they chose the right one. That's what we're fighting for. Is everything hunky dory? Fuck no, long ways to go, this doesn't change anything concrete obviously.
But this is a small bright spot in a smoldering world of rubble right now. And behavior that should be incentivized and praised.

I guess so, but I'm a bit jaded and cynical so I go to that place really quick sometimes.

This shit is disgusting. Cops destroying and stealing the peaceful protesters water supplies is just extra disgraceful. The brutality and extreme force is on another level of fucked up
America is the most unfree country in the damn world.
I dunno how much better Canada is after watching the shit in montreal though 
How long until protestors start fighting back with violence too. This is completely disgusting. A bunch of thugs in uniform instigating violence on innocent people . Every officer on duty cant condone these actions. Why are there no officers standing up to this?

They have. Calling them protesters appears to be a misnomer.

My friend in dc is saying there are throngs of people headed downtown right now. Compared to previous nights the numbers are massive.
Same thing in Houston
This is a mile north of the White House. Every street is like this all heading towards the White House

There's so much hatred and anger everywhere I look these days, everybody just seems to be united in being divided but your optimism you share here gives me a glimmer of hope in all this darkness
I for one appreciate it very much
