protest
Primary tabs

Verb
1) To complain in a public way about an act.

2) To declare something firmly and emphatically in the face of stated or implied doubt, or in response to an accusation.

A protest constitutes as an instance of civil resistance, or nonviolent resistance, when it is part of a larger systematic and peaceful nonviolent campaign aimed at achieving a specific objective by use of pressure and persuasion.

*REVEALED: ADL’s US-Israel Police Exchanges Militarize the Police

U.S.-Israel Police Exchanges
Since the early 2000s, thousands of U.S. police officers, sheriffs, border patrol agents, ICE officers and FBI agents have trained with Israeli military and police forces. The ADL’s National Counter-Terrorism Seminar (NCTS) brought U.S. law enforcement agents to visit checkpoints and military prisons, and introduced them to Israeli officials at other sites of apartheid and racial profiling, such as the illegal settlement in Hebron and Ben Gurion airport.

These exchanges reinforce American law enforcement practices of expanding surveillance, justifying racial profiling and suppressing public protests through use of force. While some of these tactics may be new, the racist ideology underlying their implementation is endemic to U.S. law enforcement since its creation. The contexts of Israel’s regime of military occupation and apartheid against Palestinians, and the U.S. legacy of white supremacy, mutually reinforce each government’s state violence. During these police exchanges, U.S. law enforcement learned tactics developed through Israel’s military occupation and also learned to think of themselves as combatants.

PO1 William "Chip" Nagel "We were surrounded on all sides by hundreds of police officers. It felt like a military invasion. It was terrifying -- terrifying. I've never experienced anything like it before. There was an unnecessary and excessive use of force," Mullin said.
