Peaceful protesting does lead to change. If a lot of people gather and voice their opinion government officials will hear them.

Takes time, but yes, it matters eventually.

One only has to look back at the Civil Rights Movement and Voting Rights Act, et al, to know that they do.

These protests always lead to violence! They don't ever lead to change just disruption.

Our current so called protest are actually just out of control violence being perpetrated agianst small business, innocent people and our police officers who are trying to protect us.

I have never felt wronged enough to protest. To do so violently just tells me you are of poor character and have been spoiled so as to get your way

This is America. Can we cross borders into other countries with no passport. Bend protesters need to read up on our rights, then stay home. Your the problem not those who are protecting all Americans.

Some demonstrations do lead to change... These? Not a chance. If they did lead to change, based on the platform of the protesters, the US would have no police, open boarders, and crimes run rampant

Michael Miller

Darn few advocate for any of that.

Some of these people are paid to protest and when it turns violet the police can't even tell who they are due to mask restrictions. Portland is a perfect example of how our Governor has failed us!
