82. Protestors, please heed this advice

post from Shannon Coleen re-posted by Jimmy Kimmel Live

🗣️ 🪧 “… From this moment forward, at every protest, we must do the following:

ℹ️ The moment violence or property damage begins, EVERY OTHER PROTESTER must immediately sit on the floor or the ground in silence, with signs down.

📷 The media (or a someone) needs to film this. This will reveal paid fake thugs posing as protesters becoming violent.

❤️The sitting down must spread like a "wave" in a football stadium throughout the crowd of protesters.

‼️Local police officers will immediately see WHO is doing the damage, and the rest of us will demonstrate our non-violent innocence and retain our ➡️Constitutional right ⬅️ to peaceful protest.

💯Retweet, repost, and shout it from the rooftops at every protest you attend!
