Your argument is basically demonstrating you don't know how to protest effectively to begin with. You are misconstrueding "Hey, how about not destroying property so the protest doesn't draw in the wrong attention like you know, the authorities. For you to then act surprised destroying of property tends to bring in the authorities to forcefully stop it" to....... "all protests are bad."

All they are doing by storming the building and breaking property is providing low hanging fruit for Newsmax, Fox and the likes to point at them every time Jan6ers are brought up.

What you are protesting becomes background noise, because to no surprise the new topic of discussion becomes about the obvious of the authorities being called to shut it down and violent protestors not cooperating.

The message of the protest gets lost and tends to resonate more with those who already supported it. Resonating with those who already support and getting bad attention by those who dont support your methods, is not winning over new people. You also may not like hearing this, it also hurt those who support your cause.

The police were already cracking skulls before any property was occupied. The message was already being maligned before then, including by nearly the entire "liberal" media.

This is not the first time that student protesters have occupied a building in order to protest a huge injustice that their government or school was complicit in and it doesn't make them any less right, except to people who value propriety and property over human life. And the vast majority of those people already hated these protesters or any student protesters.

This is the worst type of liberal, white moderate method policing. If this causes someone to lose the message of the protest and to stop caring about genocide, that's a problem with that person's values, not the protesters.
