We consider violence unlawful. You, on the other hand, endorse and embrace it.
But yet you twist yourself into finding a reason to justify the weekend of riots.

The fact of the matter is that when some protestors turn violent, THAT IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM ABROGATES THE RIGHTS OF THOSE WHO ARE PROTESTING WITHOUT VIOLENCE. Fascist Trump just wants to sweep everybody up, because hey, it's California, the state he hates the very very most.
Here's the contrast, Brent. The Jan. 6 rioters were ALL violent and had murder on their minds. The BLM protestors were 99% peaceful and were just marching and shouting. The same with these L.A. protestors.
Assholes like stupid Tom think that just because someone sets a dumpster fire or throws a rock through a window, the First Amendment rights of the entire crowd are canceled, and the storm troopers can swoop in and arrest everybody.
Thank God stupid Tom isn't in charge of anything.
Unfortunately the non violent protest has devolved into a riot. Yes, this is a riot, with violence on both sides.
Even my ultra liberal buddy, who hates Trump even more than you, calls this a riot, which he has been watching all day.
Sad thing is that the violence on both sides has overshadowed the peaceful attempt to protest the ICE raids.

And yet you call peaceful protests that were marred by violence "riots." Like you did with the BLM protests.
i don't have to justify jack shit to you or anyone else, stupid Tom. I wasn't talking about the protests themselves. I was talking about the response by the fascist dictator for whom you spread your ass cheeks.
Justify that, stupid Tom.

I'm sure that just like with the BLM protests, there are MAGAs onsite, whose "mission" is to turn the protests into what will be called "riots." I remember when the Proud Boys came from Idaho to Portland to try to fuck up the BLM march. They smashed windows and set fires...and they were successful. The media called the march a "riot" from then on.
By the way, I don't regard a "riot" as unlawful under these circumstances. The federal government is using force to deprive people of their right to protest. Therefore, those people's obligation to keep the peace no longer applies. The same metric was used in 1774, when the first battles of the Revolutionary War were fought. The colonists reasoned that they had no obligation to keep the peace when the British government was using violence against them--unlawfully.
This isn't going to be the first episode of violence, whatever you want to call it. Trump's thugs are going to meet with increasing resistance. Perhaps we need a revolution.

Here is what is forthcoming -- 
This is all on Trump. Trump needed a distraction so he sent his masked goon squad into LA to change the topic from his break up with Elon and to take pressure off Republican Senators for supporting his BBB. His Presidency is falling apart as his trade policies have been a disaster. The rest of the world just laughs at his attempt to bully them into unfavorable trade deals. As a result, our economy is going down the shitter with no easy way out as we have isolated ourselves from our allies.
Trump's failure to keep his bold promise to end the war in Ukraine has exposed how naive, inept and how deep over his head he is in when it comes to foreign policy. After all of these failures he turned to what he knows best bullying minorities. He has immigration officers cosplaying as special ops soldiers with military weapons and masks in residential areas, schools, courthouses and even churches.
Trump told us they were only going after the worst of the worst the violent criminals. Trump found out quickly there just weren't the number of violent criminals he claimed. Needing to feed his propaganda machine more bodies, he turned to rounding up grandparents, tourists, children, gay hair dressers, people with tattoos, medical researchers, op-ed opinion writers and anyone else he could find with brown skin. He sent or tried to send them to third-world hell holes without due process that they have no connection to and don't even speak the native language. He did this in defiance of a Supreme Court order.
I can see why people are responding the way the do. You come after a grandpa that has been in the country for 45 years, that has American citizen adult children and American citizen grandchildren you are damn right people are going to protest. You send in masked goons to break into his home dressed in military gear to deport him to a place he has no rights in definance of a Supreme Court order, you are damn right they are going to resort to violence. If the government doesn't have to follow the law and respect people's constitutional rights why the fuck should they?
Here are comments from the LA police chief on why the National Guard is in LA
"We are overwhelmed as far as the number of people engaging in this type of activity and the types of things that they’re doing. They’ll take backpacks filled with cinder blocks and hammers, break the blocks, and pass the pieces around to throw at officers and cars, and even at other people. We’ve seen people with hammers breaking the bollards behind the federal building, using concrete fragments as projectiles. We’ve had unknown liquids—who knows what—thrown at officers. There’s no limit to what they’re doing to our officers."
Since democrats are losing the American electorate their only hope to remain in power was to allow millions of illegals to walk into the country, offer them free stuff in the hope they can bully/con the American people into allowing these people to become citizens in the hope they will show their gratitude and vote democrat.
It is simply a power grab

And what are you supposed to do if a law enforcement officer assaults you? Or violates your civil rights?

Tom - you are 100% correct.
