There's a difference between a protest that involves freedom of speech and a temper tantrum holding public safety hostage because you don't like people using their freedom of speech to criticize your brutality.

Yeah, and generally people pay enough attention to understand the difference. Teachers striking for smaller class sizes and living wages? Parents bring them pizza. Cops striking to refuse body cameras and oversight? I don’t see that many people being sympathetic

Fair. I just don't use the law as a guidebook for morals though. No one should.
