[I originally posted this in chapotraphouse, but it was deleted for being “pro-cop” even though that very much wasn’t the case. (I believe PSL was actually involved in organizing the protest if I’m not mistaken.) The mod that deleted it openly broke the sectarian rule too.]

Been seeing a lot of people hating on what the protest marshals did during the pro-Gaza protests at the DNC and I feel they definitely did the right thing. Instigating stuff like going up against the cops under the guise of “revolutionary” action just gets a lot of people arrested and doesn’t accomplish anything.

EDIT: Users who were present at the protests have said, counter to what is claimed in the screenshot, that the protest marshals did NOT call for the police. Thank you for clearing this up, comrades!

    I didn’t post that the police intervened. The screenshot did and I only used it because that was the main post that was gaining traction on social media (it was from Unicorn Riot). Of course, in the time since, new information has come to light that changes how the events happened (this info may have come up sooner if you didn’t delete my initial post).

    Also nowhere was I being sectarian. I actually like a lot of PSL folks.

    Whatever makes you sleep well, I guess.

      So what is this new information that changes the nature of this post? Feel like that should be included for whatever point you are trying to make.
