What is the difference?

We have elections. Illinois just passed a labor bill which allows the Chicago Teachers Union to negotiate open to the public.

What is the difference? What we have now is better than what we had post WWII during what was called the McCarthy Era. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McCarthyism

The difference is that we can vote it away.

Yeah it's pretty disgusting, at least the police chief told the Columbia newspaper they were peaceful and lawful, even though the media is acting like they're worse than Neo-Nazis who last I checked have a right to protest and don't have police shutting down their protests, even though a Neo-Nazis protest is identical to an actual pro-Hamas protest (not what this was, but even if it was, it'd be no worse than Neo-Nazis demonstrating).

It's also disgusting how the media is hyper-focused on this instead of what these people are protesting, the Israeli government wantonly murdering civilians, including children, and feeling no shame or remorse in doing so.

This country has this sickness where people will be upset at terrible things happening and protest, and then there's people who are upset at those who are protesting the terrible things, but give no shits about the terrible thing that's being protested. Police brutality is the most iconic example of this and seeing how some people lose their shit to Kaepernick kneeling and BLM protests against police brutality, and not giving a single fuck about the police brutality itself, or at times even encouraging it/saying the victim deserved it.

This country has tens of millions of people who are truly fucked in the head.

...well I'm pretty sure the protestors are recording everything. and the media is until they get forced out.

the bigger issue is that even though 1st amendment violations are documented the cops won't be punished.

There's a depressingly large amount of blue-lipped apologists in this nation that range from a rosy viewing of cops and everything they do to outright defending their brutality and murder of civilians for reasons no court would side with anybody else over.

I haven't seen peaceful protesters accosted this violently by the authorities since Trump wanted to hold someone else's Bible upside down in front of a church he'd never attended for a photo-op after being mocked for hiding in the White House bunker. Not even the insurrectionists who tried to overthrow the United States government were treated like this.

Aiming sniper rifles at the anti genocide protesters

Someone mentioned above that our police often get special training from Israeli forces.

Israeli forces have a documented history of snipers opening fire on protesters, kids throwing rocks, and medical workers in the zone at and around the fences that separate Palestine and Israel.

Someone taught both these sniper crews that this was appropriate behavior for demonstrations. Given the circumstances, I wouldn't be surprised if they had the same trainers.

I'm sympathetic towards Jewish students who are offended or made to feel unsafe by some of the rhetoric being spewed by some of these protesters, but that feels like a pretext for the disproportionate response we've seen from law enforcement. If antisemitic rhetoric is really a justification for this sort of response, why did police do nothing when literal Nazis were marching in Charlottesville chanting "blood and soil" and "Jews will not replace us"?

I think the difference is that they were armed. Peaceful protestors use the higher morale ground and don't have guns. Making them easier targets. If they had guns, easily could be a blood bath.

Police reform is the second most important issue the US is facing, and it'll be at least another 5 years before it's even considered. Or rather, 5 years before it's done being actively worked against.
