A common theme is starting to appear across all the stories of police violence against protesters in the past week. That theme is that the protests remain largely peaceful until police begin kettling protesters and attacking them with rubber bullets and tear gas. Multiple instances of protests turning violent<\/strong><\/span><\/a> all appear to have the same catalyst behind the violence \u2014 cops acting as the instigators. As the following case illustrates, even when the cops try to instigate a fight, up to and including shooting a homeless man in a wheelchair, people resist the urge to get violent.<\/span><\/p>\n

There has been a lot of looting and destruction in Los Angeles since the start of the protests last week. However, on Tuesday, protests remained entirely peaceful. This was in spite of the fact that cops opened fire on protesters with rubber bullets and doused them with tear gas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dozens of peaceful protesters were documented trying to seek cover from the fire as cops shot them with \u201cless than lethal\u201d projectiles for being out past curfew.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is important to point out that many of the arrests we are seeing involve violations of unconstitutional curfews which have been enforced across the nation \u2014 not actual crimes. When citizens refuse to be silenced and do not go home when told they have to, police begin a process known as kettling which provokes violence by trapping protesters in a fight or flight type situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Essentially, people who stay out past the curfew are being kettled by cops who do not allow them to leave and then are tear gassed, pepper sprayed, beaten with batons, and then arrested.<\/span><\/p>\n

This tactic is highly controversial because multiple instances have captured cops abusing people who are innocent, including the press, and bystanders who are not even participating in the protests \u2014 like innocent homeless people in wheelchairs.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a report<\/a><\/strong><\/span> out of the LA Daily News, officers were enforcing the curfew in Los Angeles when they opened fire on peaceful protesters. Caught in the fire was an innocent homeless man who was shot right in his face with a rubber bullet. As seen below, after being shot, the man slumped over in the wheelchair and began bleeding profusely.<\/span><\/p>\n
