    Like I said, it’s not the person who throws the brick who gets the consequences, it’s someone else. If you have the desire to walk up to a cop and slap them, go ahead. Don’t expect other people to get hurt because of you.

            I’ll reiterate my original point.

            Back in the day, the IWW and other radical groups had their own folks in the crowd to make sure that no one threw a rock at a cop. The cops loved to send in bad actors who would give them an excuse to come in.

            Some one who throws a brick is putting everyone else’s safety at risk. If you really feel the need to fight a cop, go up and punch them yourself. Don’t hide behind someone’s grandmother and call yourself a hero.
