I cover a 4th of July parade every year and a few years ago woke up to news of a shooting at one in an earlier timezone. Can’t even go celebrate the 4th without worrying, let alone protest. Broken ass country
Because people use protests as an opportunity to bring chaos, and since there's no way to know who the troublemakers are, the authorities just assume everyone there is there to cause problems.
As for me, I know protesting alone doesn't solve problems. I work to actually solve the problems, or communicate with those who can. Yet, I'm considered "part of the problem" because I am not out protesting.
