      Let me translate: "How dare the counter-protesters push back against a far right disruption of the city thus using up scare resources of the police need to allow the disruption to run wild."https://twitter.com/SamHersh01/status/1493079533624467457 …

      What’s the word that describes a political system that takes into account the content of the protest in determining a response?
