there are literally hundreds of examples of snatch & grab policing at protests i asked you to look for yourself. you can easily find out about the journalists jailed. what else do you need evidence of? i think if you read the article you could understand how easy shutting off satellite response in the middle of nowhere would be for them. the only one left is the bus which i politely rescinded.
all i said is that bernie called for the demilitarization of police at one time in response to your dumb comment about him, you acted like its not necessary or that they aren't over aggressive. so i corrected you.
what happened in standing rock is an extreme example obviously that's why it's the one i stuck with, seemed easier for you to grasp. but that also means the only reason you've given for not demilitarizing police is a pretty irrelevant one.
if your idea of harm is people having the ability to assemble peacefully and put actual pressure on their representatives to represent them properly without being beaten back into a quiet corner then yes that one about eventual good is the closest one
