Great piece! It’s tough to disagree with and sadly much of it is political framing. Most protests are peaceful but if you watch Fox or listen to EndWokeness, it’s complete anarchy.
My question remains how should we expect people to act? Let Unmarked and identified ICE vehicles and agents roll up to schools or nab people on the streets? Wait for the courts? Or the next election to put an authoritarian genie back in the bottle?
As for the peacefulness, it wasn't just Fox and the like showing violent scenes, every news source was showing violent scenes, even the ones saying it was most peaceful. CNN, ABC, BBC, etc all showed what Fox was showing so it wasn't just some rightwing conspiracy.
As for where to draw the line on how to act - when is it acceptable to attack a police officer, physically, when they are performing their duties? If they arrest someone and you don't agree with it, can you attack the police officer to prevent the arrest? Knock over their car? Set it on fire? In a nation of 300+ million, if we have that as the standard, i.e. just personally disagreeing with the officer of the law, as to when we can attack them, how could we ever have a civil society? Yes, we need to use the courts. Yes, we need to use elections. Yes, we can protest, hopefully without the violence, fires, and looting. Those are the weapons we can use.
I see pics of ICE people at the protests wearing tactical gear and tennis shoes - you know those are Proud Boys who don't realize yet that there is a lot of broken glass at these events, and probably rock jacks coming soon as the feds continue to escalate in a furious effort to divert our attention from the Epstein files.
