...confrontations which might or might not be tactical successes, but would damage the movement's strategy. Thus as with war, discipline and cohesion here matter the most - not to do violence, but to *restrain* your violence to make the violence of the opponent clear. 10/13
What we've seen so far with the protests in the wake of George Floyd's murder is that both 'sides' - the police and the protesters - initially had discipline and cohesion problems, which created a confused and unclear situation for many observers. 11/13
But subsequently, the protesters showed increasingly *more* discipline than police in restraining their own violence. Consequently, they are winning, with huge polling shifts in recent months on a number of related issues. 12/13
It remains to be seen if those victories will be consolidated into meaningful police reform. There's a real uphill battle on that issue in the political arena, of course. But for now, it's not hard to see which side has the strategic initiative. end/13
Addendum: Police should also note: the protest's center of gravity *is police violence.* Reducing violence at protests/in general with better, more careful policing is the best way to reduce the strength of the protests. Police reform is the best way for the *police* to win too.

And this is where you fall flat. Right here. Both sides? Even if.... a "rioter" threw a bottle two blocks away, how does that justify clubbing someone kneeling and singing fcking kumbaya? This is a garbage take. Fck yr comparisons to Roman phalanx, etc.
