I have no problem lumping protesters, peaceful or otherwise, in the same category. Regardless of race.
It's not racist for LE response to be different in this case. "What if they were all black people?" There was a group like that... they were called the Black Panthers. They disrupted a government session by armed force. About 30 people, 6 were arrested. Were they all gunned down? No. Was the group labeled thugs? Not historically. Did stupid people use Twitter to share every asinine thought they wanted to leak out of their stupid brains? (To be fair, it wasn't created yet.)
I think occupying a gov't building by force to try to advertise your cause is stupid. It makes people hate you and hurts whatever mission you have. Then you get arrested (best case scenario.) Goal orientation and critical thinking are beyond many people I guess. I think forming a militia in the first place is punching your ticket to disregarded-ville. But if it were a black militia, in today's society, LE would leave the state. Game over man, they own it now. I don't think middle eastern people are dumb enough to form a militia.
