My Commentary: If your failure to “pledge allegiance to the flag” is treated as a form of heresy by your peers, you MIGHT be in a cult…

Oakland Protests: More Than 1,000 Take to the Streets to Protest Deadly Shootings By Police:
Keisha M.: Not smart walking into highway traffic. What point are they making if they cause accidents and people get hurt.
Karen S.: And ambulances carrying people of ANY race or religion can’t get to hospital in time because of traffic tie- up? Whoever life matters then? This is. Dangerous and inappropriate form of protest and civil disobedience. There are better ways to draw attention to a cause then this. IMHO
Rebekah S.: The only thing that could have made this better would have been superhero costumes, such as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or Leela & Crew of Futurama. When the death toll of murders on civilians lowers to almost none, then I will condemn this behavior. I did not see this group stop any emergency vehicles from passing thru. Dr. Suess warned us.
Rebekah S.: Much too long…
Aten M.: lol… the people are inconsiderate, inappropriate..
Rayn: Hmm… Why do Statists never seem to speak up when the tax-funded mercenaries are out blocking traffic to harass, intimate, and extort the public, under color of law?
“#BlueLivesMatters is at it again.
Blocking traffic, harassing people, and making them late for work.”

BART Admits Halting Cell Service to Stop Protests:

(Michael Cabanatuan) BART’s shut-off of subterranean cell phone service in its downtown San Francisco stations may have prevented a protest Thursday, but it sparked accusations Friday that the action stifled free speech and smacked of the kind of government intrusion employed by Middle East dictators.
“All over the world, people are using mobile devices to protest oppressive regimes, and governments are shutting down cell phone towers and the Internet to stop them,” said Michael Risher, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California. “It’s outrageous that in San Francisco, BART is doing the same thing.”
My Commentary: “The government big enough to give you everything you want is big enough to take everything you have.”
Centralized “legal” authority is humanity’s worst enemy.

Daniel Sv.: Sometimes, instead of protesting the current orthodoxy and making yourself a target, one should bide their time when sufficient groundswell has built against it. Seems to have worked for Copernicus and Galileo, even if the groundswell occurred after their deaths.
Thomas Pa.: that “groundswell’ is made up of others who have stood up and become targets. there will always have to be a group that goes first.
Rayn: A dastardly proposal…
