      I've been arrested for protesting before. I can say all I want until I try doing something about it. That's when the cops come out.

        people literally say in response to police beatings that you should just obey the police. How are you free if at any moment you may be stopped and ordered to perform abitrary tasks under threat of violence

        plus americans can't even legally walk on the street

        That only happened because Bernie is a pinko commie who is pro China, so he runs his office like China. In fact Bernie's office is actually inside of a Chinese embassy, which means that it's actually part of China. We know this because nobody would EVER be arrested for protesting in the White Free Western world, so the only logical explanation is that it must be China.

      Funny that you think I haven't been arrested for protesting, because I have. So no, not really. The smell of tear gas in my neighborhood doesn't smell very freeing to me.
