[QUOTE="Eight Foot Manchild, post: 75138401, member: 268751"] Not at all. Protest organizers have no control over who shows up to a public rally. All they can do is state their intended goals ahead of time, and mitigate the actions of the troublemakers when they do show up, [B]if [/B]they show up, which they very often don't. Which sometimes makes no difference anyway, because the cops still attack completely peaceful protestors from time to time. These days, typically, they'll announce through social media platforms "meet at the Commons at 4pm to protest police brutality, we'll be marching from here to City Hall, etc..." for example, and whoever shows up, shows up. I shouldn't have to explain this, but that's not quite the same as how recruitment works. Cops, and whatever city or state they represent, [B]do[/B] have control over who becomes a cop, how they become a cop, what kind of training they get as a cop, who gets to remain a cop after messing up, etc. They also have control over the culture of policing that surrounds that cop. You must have an even lower opinion of cops than I do, if you hold them to the same standard as people who have [B]zero[/B] barrier of entry. [/QUOTE]
