this is where you're assuming, and wrong. but it is interesting that you assume 100% of situations where the cops become aggressive is because somebody without a badge skirted the line and NEVER because any individual cop decided to get this show on the road or got tired of being yelled at by concerned citizens or were just plain given orders to shut the event down by any means necessary or even just got overly emotional and reacted. what is the line? is it yelling too loudly? is it throwing a tear gas cannister back because the last one just blew up in your friends face? is it throwing a rock at someone in riot gear? is it having too many followers on your live stream? is it shutting down satellites in a concentrated area of protesters to prevent them from streaming anything? is it locking people in kennels and taking them to trial hours away to ensure a lack of support for the defendant? is it aggressively criminalizing journalists for filming the event? is it coordinating with other departments to bus in loads of out of state people to make the crowd seem more threatening? is it reaching through the neutral zone and snatching people up and dragging them away for no reason other than intimidation? the line has two sides my guy. dont forget that
