Well yeah one are peaceful protestors, the other is armed. Cops get scared when someone else can fight back on an even playing field. Even if that somebody is a horrible monster murdering children. They didn't join the force to protect people they joined so people had to do what they say.

Because they know college protesters aren't armed.

Never forget that CA governor Ronald Reagan pushed for a law against folks exercising their second amendment rights to bear arms while patrolling and protecting their communities.

Those folks? The Black Panthers.

Both Republicans and Democrats in California supported increased gun control, as did the National Rifle Association of America.

They’re just like the IDF. They can only fight unarmed women and children.

Cops are gutless cowards who can only punch down on people who can't fight back; as soon as they meet someone who poses even a slight threat they cower away.

I am basically afraid of getting on some kind of dissenter's list by up voting this one.

Yeah, they're bullies. They want to beat/kill unarmed minorities and college students for "not respecting their authority" (exercising their constitutional rights), not actually uphold the law. Cowards...

College protesters should have guns.

Not at all wrong. I hate to use this word because it denigrates our wonderful lady friends (both bio and of choice), but cops are pussies. Like the ultimate ones. "look at me! I'm a badass cop gonna violate your rights! Back the Blue!" Let's see what my lawyer has to say about your "badassery". I thought so, bitch. Here's a coupon code for Dunkin. Go away.

The solution is clear, protesters and school shooters need to put aside their differences and team up.

Great 😃
