Abstract
From the start, we must call-out flawed, abusive, law enforcement processes/activities when they violate our Constitutional rights. Indeed, we must definitely protest government authorities when they murder innocent civilians or nonviolent protesters. Thus, civil disobedience should shape everyone’s understanding of the issues at hand. To be sure, government or law enforcement authorities must be forewarned and held accountable for their unconstitutional actions. Unfortunately, abusive government officials seem never to see eye-to-eye when it comes to civil disobedience, as they “stick to their guns,” so to speak on the issue of denying people their right to peacefully protest as stipulated in the constitution: this includes using the force of arms. Furthermore, the insidious behavior and actions against nonviolent protesters shouldn’t be tolerated. Moreover, orchestraters of civil disobedience shouldn’t be afraid of standing up for what is right, rather than giving into a violent, tyrannical government. Hence, the actions of nonviolent protesters must speak louder than words, while fighting wisely for the freedom to protest by also using the tactics of civil disobedience, which must be employed with discipline, self-reliance, and a sense of purpose — and righteous activism. In this way, we will be able to grasp a clear picture of what should happen in the political mix.
