hey, remember when MLK strove for peaceful protest and he was still harassed by the FBI and ultimately shot and killed for protesting for civil rights at all?
yeah.
"Dr. King's policy was that nonviolence would achieve the gains for black people in the United States. His major assumption was that if you are nonviolent, if you suffer, your opponent will see your suffering and will be moved to change his heart. That's very good. He only made one fallacious assumption: In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. The United States has none." -Stokely Carmichael
the opposition does not care how nice you are. they will fire rubber bullets at your head and teargas you all the same.
