@pandabead They didnt need to use any weapons... All the protests were loud but peaceful, and the ones that were looking for a fight were so few that the police could easily overpower them. And when some people started throwing rocks at the police, the rest of the protestors stood in front of the police and told the rest to stop..and they did.

The problem is, you'd also have a lot of criminal elements at play too. The point is though, violence should be a last resort. We could use the military and the police to be on our side.. remember, as brainwashed as the military might be as far as thinking they're serving the American people, if it ever comes down to it.. all hell would be likely to break loose within their ranks the instant they were forced to fight their own people.

See what happens when you are not allowed to bear arms. Militant police. Sometimes guns get things done.
