I am saying that:
- the vast majority of violence perpetrated at these demonstrations is done by law enforcement
- if cops wanted people to stop throwing water bottles at them they would stop trampling people with horses and shooting reporters with rubber bullets
- framing these demonstrations as “violent” only serves the narrative of the right
I don’t know how they could implement this across the private sector, but the State of California has a quarter million employees for which they could probably stop sending tax withholdings to the feds.
According to this random site I found Googling, it’s around $230M every month.
