No, aggressive police behaviour against passive protests is how riots happen.

See the Occupy Oakland.  Or the London student riots.  Where things got out of hand because the police showed they had lost control of the situation.

You honestly think that those situations would have been made better by police attacking passive protestors? History shows that police aggression causes riots.

 

Edit: Wow. You compared peaceful protestors to people aiding a murderer. I think I'm done here.

No, I compaired them to people activly stopping the arrest of other people.  What the arrest is for is fairly pointless.  I was just using something else you'd actually consider a crime to point out the severity.

Murder/theft really any crime works. That your focusing on the actual murder point and breaking off the conversation I think actually makes my point for me about impeding arrest being more then just regular "passive reisistance."
