They also weren't just individual protests, but series of sustained actions stemming from organized SCLC and SNCC stuff. Organizing doesn't exist, it's only spontaneous actions or individual violence. There's no threat of escalation from organizing, organizing to display an alternative system of community defense or structures, collective withholding of labor, there's just people doing murder or doing provocative protests that get big media attention-that's how power works.
But yea, property damage and different types of violence too.
I would like to reassert my position that property damage is not only ethical, but also necessary. Positions of power don't give a shit if the cop dies- it's a PR win for the establishment.
The structures will freak out about paying for broken glass and insurance companies trying to squeeze their way out of not paying.
