I'm just gonna leave this here:

"Nonviolent protests are twice as likely to succeed as armed conflicts – and those engaging a threshold of 3.5% of the population have never failed to bring about change."

Everyone I know involved in nonviolent protests is also currently fighting legal battles for people who got hospitalized unprovoked by police at said legally organized nonviolent protests.
