I was at the protest on Monday. There were a group of violent anarchists yes, but they were far outnumbered by both the peaceful protesters, and by police officers in full riot gear. There have been threats of violence that should be addressed, but the police reaction has been over the top.
I don't think that the Republican party does not value public service or public protest, but that certainly seems to be the message they have been sending this past week. I'm sorry if I implied overwise. I'm aware that my comment was very forceful. It's been a rough week, both because of the political situation here, and because of some personal stuff my family is dealing with that has nothing to do with politics.
