And then when people show up, which they do, we have one of the most active and engaged communities in the country around organizing against police accountability, against ICE, against homeless encampments, on and on and on.

When people do show up with their whistles,

with their fireworks, with their pox, or just with their voices, then we're told it's an unlawful assembly.

You all are causing problems.

So it makes no sense.

You can't have it both ways.

You can't leave the people completely unprotected.

And then when they show up with the bare minimum of tools to protect themselves, tell them that they're the problem.

That is absolutely insane.

And so it's one thing to deal with the Trump administration, which we know is delusional.

We know they lie.

We know that they've unleashed hellhounds in democratic cities across America.

But it's another when you have democratic leadership with no backbone.

Again, it leaves the people unprotected and it's unacceptable.

Absolutely.

I mean, like I said, they know we have, unfortunately, Democrats who talk tough on television.

But when the rubber meets the road, what we get, unfortunately, is cowardly leadership.

Right.

And so what what do they have to fear?

There are no guardrails around their conduct whatsoever in the level of brutality.
