They want the public agitated, swearing at them with hostile violent words. They want a violent reaction absolutely, in order to justify their own violent response on the public.
Protest absolutely, but protest with non-violence and humor.

I recall cleaning out personal belongings from the desk of a co-worker that died from lung cancer.
Their spouse removed these Black Death cigarettes from the belongings and dropped them into the garbage.
Later, I took them out to remember him always. 🚭

a friend expressed dismay
to the lack of crows on christmas cards.
they took marker to a dove and called out FCAW
~inside
beneath
the watchful eye
of the moon,
the crow calls
FCAW
a cry of defiance,
a mark of strength,
a reminder that
even in the darkest night,
your spirit takes flight.

Shoveled 8.5" of snow for two hours. 28⁰F -3⁰C outside but the sun is out and the skies are beautiful.
Yes, it is effort shoveling heavy pack snow, but why would I want to wreck this peace with a snowblower.
